In contrast to the above-mentioned countries, a number of CoE member states stand out as examples where no restrictions to vote are imposed on convicted citizens, regardless of the nature of the crime or the duration of the sentence. Examples include Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. In Germany, courts can ban citizens who committed certain crimes from voting, but hardly ever do so.
