Paragraph 51
 

Scope of possible restrictions on suffrage









Currently, Article 30 of the Constitution states that “Citizens found to be incompetent by a court decision, duly sentenced to prison or serving the sentence, shall not be entitled to vote or to be elected”. The Draft observes that “convicts may only be deprived of the right to vote in case of grave crimes. Specifying such a restriction in the Constitution is more appropriate than completely depriving the convicts of the right to vote”.
