However, this bill would allow incarcerated individuals to vote while incarcerated. If approved, DC would join the ranks of Maine and Vermont - the only states that never take away voting rights, even after incarceration. The bill, once signed by the Mayor, would take effect on January 1, 2021.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Der Entzug des Wahlrechts ist eine Nebenfolge einer Verurteilung wegen eines Verbrechens. Nebenfolgen sind Disqualifikationen, Sanktionen und Einschr\u00e4nkungen, die einer Person aufgrund ihrer kriminellen Vergangenheit auferlegt werden, die sich auf die Gemeinschaft auswirken und das Leben zur\u00fcckkehrender B\u00fcrger beeintr\u00e4chtigen. Viele Menschen sind sich der Nebenfolgen einer Verurteilung wegen eines Verbrechens nicht bewusst und wissen nicht, dass sie lange anhalten.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/de\/resource\/demokratie-hinter-gittern\/\"><img class=\"wp-image-7355 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DemocracyBehindBars_1800x800-1-300x133.png\" alt=\"Titelseite des Berichts \u201eDemokratie hinter Gittern\u201c\" width=\"390\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>r \u00fcber die verh\u00e4ngte Strafe hinaus. Zu diesen Konsequenzen geh\u00f6ren allzu oft Hindernisse bei der Geschworenent\u00e4tigkeit, beim Zugang zu F\u00fchrerscheinen, Waffenscheinen (selbst wenn das verurteilte Verbrechen keine Gewalt beinhaltete), Berufslizenzen, Wohnungsbauprogrammen und\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">finanzielle Hilfe. Insbesondere der Entzug des Wahlrechts wegen schwerer Verbrechen ist eine Nebenfolge, die unsere Demokratie beeintr\u00e4chtigt, indem sie die Stimmen der Gemeinden im ganzen Land zum Schweigen bringt. Mit der Einf\u00fchrung des Restore the Vote Amendment Act sendet der DC Council die Botschaft, dass Menschen mit schweren Verbrechen immer noch Menschen sind, die B\u00fcrgerrechte verdienen.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Being a person that was formerly incarcerated myself, the only time I didn\u2019t vote was during my incarceration. I know better than most the importance of being able to vote with a felony conviction. Growing up in a household that placed significant emphasis on the importance of voting, I have always understood the POWER in being able to vote and having your voice heard. I am an active voter - having voted in every election ever and became eligible to vote. During my incarceration, I was grateful that as a resident of the District of Columbia I would not be permanently disenfranchised. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Der Gedanke, inhaftierte Personen vom Wahlrecht auszuschlie\u00dfen, ist \u00fcberholt.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Politik. Inhaftierte Personen sollten das Recht haben, \u00fcber Angelegenheiten abzustimmen, die zweifellos ihre Freunde, Familien und Angeh\u00f6rigen zu Hause und schlie\u00dflich auch sie selbst nach ihrer Freilassung betreffen. Die Entscheidung des DC-Rats, inhaftierten Personen das Wahlrecht zur\u00fcckzugeben und damit die Praxis der Entziehung des Wahlrechts wegen Schwerverbrechern effektiv zu beenden, ist ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Mit diesem Schritt hat der Stadtrat DC an die Spitze der Liste und ins neue Jahrtausend gebracht. Gut gemacht!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
