As to whether Huqúqu’lláh is acceptable from Bahá’ís who have been deprived of their voting rights, the House of Justice has stated:

After considering precedents set by the beloved Guardian, we have come to the conclusion that Huqúqu’lláh is not acceptable from such believers…. Any believer who is under the sanction of deprivation of administrative rights and who offers to pay Huqúqu’lláh should simply be told that such a payment is not acceptable. If he remits a payment, it should be returned to him.
