Paragraph 65
 

Furthermore, in some CoE member states, voting rights may not be automatically restored upon release from prison (e.g. Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, and Turkey). In Luxembourg, for example, a prison sentence of more than ten years automatically entails a lifelong disenfranchisement, while an imprisonment between five and ten years generally leads to disenfranchisment from 10 to 20 years, with a lifelong disenfranchisement possible.
