Yeah, I don't see a problem with this bill at all either.

This was introduced on behalf of Peter. I support it, though I think the maximum sentences are maybe a bit harsh.

If anything they're a little too light.

So, if a person tries to vote when they're banned from voting, they'll be banned from voting?

I suspect what was meant was that there would be additional time added on. Though that should probably be written into the bill.

     I guess I'll abstain. While it does nothing harmful, it doesn't seem to do anything useful either.

It does nothing, except, of course, to punish people who are breaching their sentence for an earlier crime committed in Atlasia.

     But since their vote would never be counted, them breaching their sentence is meaningless. That would be like punishing armed robbers by binding their hands in such a way that they could not possibly use a weapon, & then passing a law saying that they cannot possess a firearm while in this state. It's a pointless gesture.

Though we should keep it how it is right now I believe the intention of this bill is for people using other accounts for voting since they themselves are banned so maybe adding that on would be a good idea.
