Abstract
Description
This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the voting rights of
prisoners with a focus on international perspectives, particularly examining the
approaches of Australia, Canada, and India. The study will explore the legal
frameworks governing prisoners’ voting rights, the historical, cultural, and
political factors influencing these frameworks, and the arguments for and against
granting voting rights to prisoners. A key component of the research is to
understand how variations in prisoners’ voting rights policies across these
countries reflect voter turnout and democratic engagement. Additionally, the study
will identify the challenges that could arise if prisoners are allowed to vote and
propose potential policy reforms to address these issues.
