National Party

Agree

No

The National Party has shown support for restricting voting rights for convicted criminals. As mentioned earlier, they passed the Electoral (Disqualification of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Act in 2010, which removed the right to vote from all prisoners serving a sentence of imprisonment. However, this does not apply to all convicted criminals, only those currently serving a prison sentence.

Slightly agree

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

The National Party's stance on voting rights for convicted criminals is somewhat aligned with this answer. While they removed voting rights for prisoners serving a sentence of imprisonment, they did not remove voting rights for those who have completed their sentences and parole/probation. However, their primary focus has been on restricting voting rights for prisoners, rather than advocating for the restoration of rights after completing sentences.

Disagree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

The National Party has not specifically advocated for this position. Their focus has been on removing voting rights for all prisoners serving a sentence of imprisonment, regardless of the nature of their crime. The 2010 Electoral (Disqualification of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Act does not make any distinctions between different types of crimes.

Disagree

Yes

The National Party has not historically supported the idea of allowing all convicted criminals to vote. In 2010, they passed the Electoral (Disqualification of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Act, which removed the right to vote from all prisoners serving a sentence of imprisonment.

Strongly disagree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

The National Party has not supported the idea that every citizen deserves the right to vote, as evidenced by their 2010 legislation removing voting rights for prisoners serving a sentence of imprisonment. This stance indicates that they believe certain individuals, such as convicted criminals, should not have the right to vote.
