At the last County election I was involved in, one seat was one by just three votes and another by seven votes. Every single vote counts.

The prisoners would not be able to choose which area their vote went to, they would only be able to vote in the place where their name appears on the electoral roll.

If the government sit down and talk it through with European Human Rights lawyers etc. They may come up with a workable solution which allows a ban on criminals sentenced to over a set number of years, or in certain crimes.

Incidentally ECHR is a problem of our own making as we were instrumental in helping to set it up as a result of WW2. It is a distinct separate entity from the European Union
