The blanket denial of voting rights of disabled persons under guardianship or trusteeship is against international standards. While the ECHR found that the loss of voting rights on account of placement under guardianship could pursue a legitimate aim (namely to ensure that only citizens capable of assessing the consequences of their decisions and making conscious and judicious decisions should participate in public affairs), it concluded that a blanket and indiscriminate removal of voting rights, without an individualised judicial evaluation, could not be considered proportionate to the aim pursued (Alajos Kiss v. Hungary, No. 28832/2006, 20 August 2010).
