The article considers the procedure of legal regulation of the withdrawal of electoral rights applied to persons held in imprisonment by a court sentence. In fact, it is a measure of criminal legal act, although it is not considered a punitive measure. The conclusion is formulated as follows: the withdrawal of electoral rights should be exclusively individualized. In this regard, it is necessary to provide for a new additional type of punishment: deprivation of voting rights and thereby legislatively determine its criminal legal nature.
