Prisoner disenfranchisement and the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament: Universal suffrage key to unlocking political citizenship?

The issue of prisoner disenfranchisement has become the new angle from which to view the relationship between electoral rights and Union citizenship. A decade ago, the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) first developed the relationship between EU citizenship and electoral rights in two cases dealing with the electoral rights of persons at the periphery of the European Union – Gibraltar and the Caribbean Netherlands. In 2013, the mettle of these decisions, Spain v United Kingdom and Eman and Sevinger, was tested before the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court, in a case concerning the British blanket ban on prisoner voting.
