According to Florida Statutes, a felony conviction affects the right to vote in Florida (Sections 97.041, 97.053, 97.055, F. S.).  A person convicted of a felony is not eligible to vote in Florida unless his or her voting rights have been restored.  To vote in Florida, a person who has been convicted of a felony must:

  • Have his or her voting rights restored, and
  • Register to vote in Florida by the book closing deadline.
