Rationale
The bill partially aligns with libertarian principles by emphasizing individual rights and qualifications for voting. It supports the idea of limiting voting rights to natural persons and citizens. However, it could be viewed as restrictive as it limits voting rights based on specific criteria, potentially infringing on individual liberties.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential risk of restricting voting rights based on specific qualifications, which may not fully align with libertarian emphasis on individual liberty.
- Could lead to exclusion or discrimination against certain groups who may not meet the specified qualifications.
