The proposal at hand would open up room for a replacement – also drafted by the repeal author – which would grant to any person imprisoned a right to vote, regardless of whether that person was imprisoned for electoral fraud, intimidation of electors, treason, or similar political crimes.
We feel that such a proposal would be broadly worrisome: the right to vote is core to a person's relationship with a democratic society. It would be proportionate for such a society to strip such rights from those who would undermine it for the duration of their punishment. The resolution targeted for repeal requires enfranchisement of persons who have already served their sentences. This compromise is broadly acceptable and does not require adjustment.
Therefore, the Office recommends a vote against Repeal 'Voting Equality for Freed Inmates'.
Current policy emerged from the poll conducted here, which showed a majority supporting telegrams disseminating these messages to all residents. Internally, however, the Office compromised between telegrams – which many in the region might find spammy, due to the default limitations of telegram mailboxes – and oft-ignored RMB messages.
