Practice question
An otherwise qualified citizen has been charged with an offense, but there is no final judgment of conviction and no other legal disqualification. An official relies solely on Section 11(a) to reject registration because of the pending charge. Is that statutory ground established?
- Yes, every accusation is a final conviction
- Yes, the possible maximum penalty alone is enough
- No; Section 11(a) requires the specified sentence by final judgment
- Yes, if the complainant objects strongly
- Yes, unless the citizen can prove innocence before registration
