Florida’s felon voting law

Florida's felon voting law allows individuals with felony convictions to regain voting rights after completing all terms of their sentence, including prison, parole, and probation. The 2018 Amendment 4 initially restored voting rights automatically, but a 2019 law requires felons to pay any outstanding fines, fees, or restitution before regaining the right to vote. Once these financial obligations are fulfilled, eligible felons can register to vote again. The law aims to balance restoring voting rights while addressing financial restitution, though ongoing debates focus on the impact of fees and the process for re-enfranchisement.
