“Punishment, Citizenship, and Felony Disenfranchisement”

 

In the article, I argue against theorists who hold that a contractualist understanding of political obligation necessitates some form of felony disenfranchisement. I also argue against those who believe that felony disenfranchisement is necessary to protect the integrity of a democracy. Considering the disparate racial impact of current disenfranchisement policies, I articulate a nuanced understanding of criminal disenfranchisement rooted in principles of restorative justice. I contend that only those who refuse to or are unable to participate in a restorative process should lose the right to vote. Persons of this type are permanently opposed to the realization, extension, and articulation of the communal norms that animate a democratic process.
