Agree

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation

The SVP might be open to the idea of restoring voting rights to convicted criminals after they have completed their sentences and parole/probation, as it could be seen as a way to reintegrate them into society. However, this stance might not be universally supported within the party, so the score is not higher.

Slightly disagree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

The SVP might be somewhat open to the idea of allowing some convicted criminals to vote, but excluding those convicted of murder or violent crimes. However, given their general stance on law and order, they might still be hesitant to support this position, so the score is slightly negative.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

The SVP is unlikely to support the idea that every citizen, regardless of their criminal history, deserves the right to vote.
