Florida law states: "A person who has been convicted of any felony by any court of record and who has not had his or her right to vote restored pursuant to the law...[is] not entitled to register or vote."
If you have a felony conviction and your voting rights have not been restored, you are not allowed to register. If the Clerk of the Circuit Court or the U. S. Attorney notifies the Supervisor that you have been convicted of a felony, you will be notified and removed from the voter rolls.
If you have reason to believe you may be identified as having a felony conviction, you should contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the action may have been initiated or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to confirm your status.
If you have a felony conviction and believe your voting rights have been restored or you wish to make application to have your rights restored, you should contact the Office of Executive Clemency. The process for restoring your rights changed in 2007. People who were convicted of most non-violent crimes will now have their rights restored automatically upon completion of their sentence and supervision and upon making restitution. Information on the different processes and which crimes quality for which process is available here on the Florida Parole Commission web site.
