Dzehtsiarou, Kanstantsin eng 2017-10-30 electronic resource text/html ddc:342 Hirst v. UK Prisoner's right to vote Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 On 29 October 2017, it was announced that the UK authorities are planning to revoke the blanket ban on prisoner voting and allow those who are sentenced to under a year in prison to go home for a day and vote. This was done to ensure the compliance with the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Hirst No 2 which was delivered in 2005. It took the UK government twelve years to come up with a proposal that would put English law in line with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.
