영문 초록

Election is the core of democracy. Election is an act of electing national institutions to represent people as a sovereign to implement representative democracy based on national consensus. But once the final decision is made, prisoners lose the right to vote or the suffrage would be limited within the certain period of time according to the law. Prisoners file lawsuit against violation of the constitution on deprived voting rights and the pros and cons about suffrage of prisoners are going higher in various areas. In this study, to seek ways to give suffrage to prisoners, first, other countries’ systems, history, precedent cases and the transition of precedent cases about restrictions on voting rights of prisoners are investigated. In this study, legislation system and way of restriction appear differently in each country. However, the changes of precedent cases and European Court of civil rights have concluded that suffrage should be granted to prisoners. Second, the pros and the cons about the legal status of prisoners and restrictions on suffrage are summarized. A group declared that Criminal Article 43 or Article 44 limiting suffrage of prisoners and Officials election Article 18 Paragraph 1, subparagraph 1 violated the Constitution and should be deleted. The other group declared that the legislative purpose should be acknowledged and the suffrage of prisoners should be limited at this moment. Third, problems and improvements of laws related to suffrage of prisoners are reviewed. Here, I would like to investigate the problems of provisions of natural suspension according to the current criminal laws, to investigate the legitimacy on provisions of natural suspension about the scope of limited suffrage of prisoners according to official election laws, to determine if it violates the principles of excessive regulation and to study the improvements on problems.
