| (This bill was proposed by the minister of Justice Jody McLellan) The right to participate in democracy is the most fundemental right in a democracy. It, after all, is the right that makes us a democracy in the first place. How could we consider ourselves a democracy if we start arbitrarly removing the right of some to vote? Mistakes made by hutorian citizen doesn't make them any less citizen of our great nation. We are no right to tell people that are in jail that they should not have a say in how our country is manage. I say, give prisoners the right to vote. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
