There aren't very specific parameters on this. People have guardians usually to help watch their money. Sometimes it is because of a head injury, other times, they have a bipolar disorder and have had unfortunate episodes of spending. If it happens that someone has gone to the trouble to make sure they get help managing their money, or something, it's possible that they they won't be able to vote.
