If you have a felony conviction in Florida, FRRC has successfully advocated for the State of Florida to create a process to get you the answers you need in a timely fashion. If you want to know whether you are eligible to vote, you can submit an advisory opinion request. The state is required to follow up within 14 days if they need additional information and issue a response within 90 days after receiving a complete request.

How It Works

Florida Rights Restoration Coalition’s (FRRC) Advisory Opinion Program helps returning citizens get clarity from the state about their voting eligibility and/or how much they owe in fines and fees to clear the path to their being able to register to vote.

If you know the case numbers for all your felony cases, or know how to get them from the court, you can submit your own advisory opinion request right now by downloading the form, filling it out, and either mailing or emailing it to the Division of Elections (instructions below).

If you do not know your case numbers, we encourage you to apply for our Fines and Fees Assistance Program so we can research your case history and submit an Advisory Opinion Request on your behalf.

Or scan the completed form or sign it digitally and email it to: dos.generalcounsel@dos.myflorida.com

Returning citizens who need assistance finding their case numbers for their Advisory Opinion or who have questions or uncertainty about their fines and fees should apply to our Fines and Fees Program.

Our Fines and Fees team will reach out individually and will be happy to assist them in completing the paperwork with the correct case numbers.
