Depends on the circumstances. The person might be a member of a marginalized group and convicted out of hate and inequities in the society & justice system.

I think it really depends on the situation if it was a crime committed maybe when they were young then I think it shouldn't affect them, but it it was a crime that is extreme then no they should not be allowed to run.

 @B2ZJH9Gfrom Ontario  answered…5 days5D

yes they should be allowed to run as long as the crime wasnt pedophillia, sex trafficing, multiple mansaughters / murder victims

 @B2YG4C2from Ontario  answered…6 days6D

Yes, as long as they are aware of the crimes they had committed in the past. However, if they keep on committing certain crimes like sexual offense, they should not be allowed to run for office

 @9QQN2BLfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

Yes, however the crime's severity should be put in consideration. If the crime is something like theft under $500 let them run after sentence but if the crime is grand larceny then no because they are given to much power in office.

Yes, but it cant be a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime and the have to wait 4-10 years depending on severity
