Exclusion from the right to vote on account of a court conviction
(1) Persons who have been sentenced by a domestic court in non-appealable and enforceable form to a one-year imprisonment or longer for one or several offence(s), committed with criminal intent, shall be barred from exercising their right to vote. This exclusion shall lapse after six months. This term starts as soon as the sentence has been executed and preventive measures connected with the confinement have been completed or no longer apply. If the sentence has been served completely by the time served during pre-trial detention, the term shall commence as soon as the judgement becomes non-appealable and enforceable.
(2) Persons shall not be barred from exercising their right to vote if other statutory provisions preclude the occurrence of legal consequences, if the legal consequences have lapsed, or if the sentenced persons were exempted from legal consequences or from being barred to exercise their right to vote. Furthermore, persons shall not be barred from exercising their right to vote if the court suspended the sentence. If the suspension of the sentence is revoked, those persons shall be barred from exercising their right to vote, as of the date on which the court decision becomes non-appealable and enforceable.
