Restoring Your Right to Vote

Voters in 2018 adopted Amendment 4 to Florida’s constitution. It automatically restores the right to register and vote to all felons who complete their sentence—and were not convicted of murder or felony sexual offense.

“Automatically” means you don’t need anyone’s permission to register and vote. You can register online—with your county’s Supervisor of Elections, public library, and other locations—or with one of our authorized volunteers.

But remember: You can vote in the 2022 elections only if you register. That includes voting for Florida’s next U.S. Senator and Governor, state legislators and local officials on November 8, 2022 and voting.

Up for vote will be proposals to slash Florida’s new **statewide minimum wage of $15 an hour to $10 an hour. Some of our leaders don’t think you’re worth $15 an hour, so make your voice heard—every vote counts!

We urge you to register right away—no later than 29 days before the next election—or you will not be allowed to vote!
