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 to vote. If you are a registered voter and the Florida Division of Elections is notified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the U. S. Attorney, or other agency, that you have been convicted of a felony, the Division will research the matter. If the Division determines that you have been correctly identified and that you have been convicted of a felony, they will pass all of the pertainant information to the Supervisor of Elections Office. Our office will notify you that you have been identified as a convicted felon and will give you the opportunity to present evidence showing that you have had adjudication withheld, had a conviction reduced to a misdemeanor, that the identification is mistaken, or other evidence. If the evidence indicates that you are indeed a convicted felon, your name will be 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.
