Starting January 8, 1.4 million Floridians with completed sentences will be able to register to vote, the single-biggest enfranchisement of voting rights since passage of the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
If you or a loved one are planning to register, make sure to connect with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC) on Facebook and at https://floridarrc.com/. They successfully passed Amendment 4 to automatically restore the rights of 1.4 million returning citizens. They are led by directly impacted people, and will stand up for your rights.
Problems Registering:
If you or someone you know faces problems registering to vote or has questions call 1-877-MYVOTE-0 (1-877-698-6830) for direct assistance, or let the ACLU of Florida know. A helpful one-page document for eligible voters is available from FRRC.
