For many Floridians with past felony convictions, Amendment 4 restores the right to vote after all terms of the sentence are complete. That includes incarceration, probation or parole, and the fines, fees, court costs and restitution ordered as part of the felony sentence. Convictions for murder or a felony sexual offense have different requirements.

If you're unsure of your status, FRRC can help you understand your options. You can also learn about requesting an advisory opinion from the Florida Division of Elections.

What you'll see on the registration form: The eligibility question asks you to confirm that you have not been convicted of a felony or that your voting rights have been restored. If your rights have been restored under Amendment 4, you can answer accordingly.

Financial obligations ordered as part of a felony sentence can affect voting eligibility. Not every balance shown by a clerk necessarily counts: later-accruing charges may be treated differently from amounts included in the sentencing documents.

Review your sentencing documents and payment history, and seek guidance if you are unsure. FRRC's Fines & Fees Assistance Program explains available support and intake notifications.

Florida's automatic voting-rights restoration under Amendment 4 does not apply to Florida felony convictions for murder or felony sexual offenses. These cases generally require restoration through the state's clemency process.

Learn about clemency and civil rights restoration before registering.

In Florida, the deadline to register to vote for an election is generally 29 days before Election Day.
