STRØBYE AND ROSENLIND v. DENMARK JUDGMENT (see section 5), and the second condition is that a legal incapacitation order be necessary to prevent the person in question from exposing his or her assets, income or other financial interests to the risk of major loss, or to prevent financial exploitation. Persons subject to guardianship solely under section 5 are legally competent, whereas persons also deprived of their legal capacity under section 6 are legally incompetent. It follows from section 8(1) that a person cannot be deprived of his or her legal capacity if his or her interests can be sufficiently guarded through guardianship under section 5. As opposed to persons who are only subject to guardianship under section 5, persons deprived of their legal capacity under section 6 need more than a guardian to guard their interests; they are often persons who act contrary to their own best interests or risk being exploited by others. Under section 10, a legal incapacitation order must be quashed if the prescribed conditions are no longer met. The legal incapacitation order in respect of [one of the two additional persons who joined the proceedings] has been quashed, in accordance with that provision, and he is now solely subject to guardianship under section 5 and consequently now has the right to vote in general elections. Accordingly, strict requirements must be met in order to deprive a person of his or her legal capacity and to maintain in effect such a legal incapacitation order, and such requirements are closely related to the issue of whether the person in question is able to foresee the consequences of his or her decisions and to make conscious and judicious decisions. The Guardianship Act, which was enacted in 1996, reduced the group of persons declared legally incompetent and consequently disenfranchised in general elections as compared with the group similarly disenfranchised under the former Danish Act on Legal Competence (myndighedsloven). In 1990, just under 3,300 persons had been declared legally incompetent, and in December 2017 about 1,850 persons had been deprived of their legal capacity. Danish Act no. 391 of 27 April 2016 gave persons deprived of their legal capacity the right to vote in European Parliament elections and in local and regional elections. It appears from the preparatory notes to the Act that it was intended to bestow upon this group of individuals the right to vote to the extent possible under the Constitution. The restriction on the right to vote set out in section 29 of the Constitution therefore reflects an arrangement [ordning] that is considerably narrower than the Hungarian measure deemed by the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Alajos Kiss to be disproportionate. The Supreme Court finds that it follows from that judgment that an arrangement imposing a more limited restriction on the right to vote of persons suffering from a mental disability as compared with the then applicable Hungarian measure might be compatible with Article 3 of Protocol No. 1. It cannot be inferred from the judgment that in order for a restriction on the right to vote of persons deprived of their legal capacity to be considered compatible with Article 3 of Protocol No. 1, a specific and individual assessment must always have been made of the relevant person’s mental capacity to exercise the right to vote. The Supreme Court observes in this respect, as did the High Court, that a specific and individual assessment of whether a person’s mental capacity is sufficient [for that person] to exercise the right to vote may give rise to concern. The case-law of the European Court of Human Rights concerning restrictions on the right to vote and on eligibility to stand for election for reasons other than mental disability also supports the view that a specific and individual assessment is not always required to deprive a person of his or her right to vote – see in this respect paragraphs 112 and 114 of the judgment delivered in Ždanoka v.
