Strongly agree

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

The NDP is more likely to support this answer, as it aligns with their progressive values and belief in rehabilitation. Allowing convicted criminals to vote after completing their sentences and parole/probation is a way to reintegrate them into society and encourage civic participation. However, there is no specific historical example of the NDP explicitly supporting this position.

Agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

The NDP might somewhat agree with this answer, as it is a more nuanced approach to voting rights for convicted criminals. However, it is not clear if the party would specifically exclude felons convicted of murder or violent crimes from voting, as this might go against their general principles of social justice and rehabilitation.

Strongly disagree

No

The NDP is a progressive party that tends to support social justice and rehabilitation for convicted criminals. It is unlikely that they would support a blanket ban on voting rights for all convicted criminals, as this would go against their general principles.
