Restoration of Voting Rights

In the 2018 General Election, Florida voters passed an amendment to the Florida Constitution that restores voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation, and payment of fines and fees.


The amendment did not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet voted to restore their voting rights on a case-by-case basis.



If you are convicted of a felony, you lose the right to vote in Florida.

   

If you were convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, your right to vote can only be restored by clemency. Clemency allows felons to ask for relief from punishment and seek restoration of their civil rights, including the right to vote. The power to grant clemency is vested in the Governor and Cabinet.


For information about clemency, visit the website of the Florida Commission on Offender Review.


 

  

  

 



The right to vote for all other felons is restored once you have completed all terms of your sentence, and you can register to vote. For more information about voting rights restoration, visit the Florida Division of Elections.

 

It is your responsibility to verify that you have fulfilled your court-ordered sentencing obligations before registering to vote.
