Florida is one of three states with lifetime disenfranchisement

Florida, Iowa and Kentucky are the only states to impose lifetime voting bans for felons unless their rights are restored by the governor.

Prior governor Crist automatically restored civil rights upon completion of the sentence. Current governor Scott requires a long waiting period prior to an application. For a “sex offense”… good luck!

We have a bunch of rights impacting us daily, but voting is an important one. Without a say in government, how can we do anything to influence change?

Look for this to come on our radar soon.
