If you get arrested; after you get out are you allowed to vote?

[Ferg]

I`m not sure, but I picked up that if you get arrested you loose your right to vote. Is that true? Only in some countries? Thank you.

Yes and No they will only take voting rights away if you commit a felony

If u did. A misameber u can if u Dd. A Fellini no

In the US you are, yes. Some states prohibit convicted felons from voting, but an arrest is not a conviction.

I don't see why that right would be taken away. It doesn't seem like they connect so you SHOULD have the right to vote regardless but you could just ask someone who works at a jail or a policeman.

In a few states you don't lose the right to vote if you are a convicted felon, but in most you do.
Getting arrested won't have any effect.
Getting convicted on something other than a felony won't have an effect

I think it would depend on the crime that you were arrested for and if you was found guilty or not.
I also think you wouldnt be able to vote if the crime was a felony.
