It may also refer to additional civil rights that are taken away upon conviction, such as holding public office and serving on a jury. In the United States, the voting rights of people convicted of a felony vary from state to state. In most states, the right to vote is automatically or eventually restored upon the completion of one’s sentence. In three states – Florida, Kentucky and Iowa – all individuals convicted of felonies lose their voting rights permanently, and they must directly petition the government to get them back. Critics of these voting prohibitions argue that voting is an unalienable right and should not be taken away from citizens who have repaid their debt to society. In addition, because the United States disproportionately imprisons people of color, the loss of voting rights disparately impacts minority populations. ==Background== Compared to other nations, the United States is very strict with regard to denying the right to vote to people with prior felony convictions.〔("Felon voting laws to disenfranchise historic number of Americans in 2012" ), ''The Guardian'', July 13, 2012〕 Under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, states are able to make their own rules on restricting the right to vote based on criminal convictions. It is estimated that there are 5.85 million people in the United States who cannot vote due to felony convictions,〔("U.S. Felony Disenfranchisement Laws By State" ), ''Sentencing Project''〕 including 2.6 million who have completed their sentences but are disenfranchised in states with the most restrictive policies.〔("Felony Disenfranchisement and the 2014 Mid-Term Elections" ), ''Sentencing Project'', Oct. 2, 2014〕 This accounts for approximately 2.5 percent of the eligible voter population, and almost eight percent of the African-American eligible voter population.〔("Felon voting laws to disenfranchise historic number of Americans in 2012" ), ''The Guardian'', July 13, 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rights Restoration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
