Proceeding contribution from Naomi Long (Alliance) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 February 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Voting by Prisoners.
Voting by Prisoners
The Republic of Ireland provides an interesting case. Although the Government have allowed their prisoners to register to vote, they do not necessarily guarantee that they will be able to vote in the sense of attending a polling station to exercise their franchise. I suspect that this is an interesting example of sleight of hand.
