The voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions can be restored after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation. The Felon Voting Rights do not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case-by-case basis.
The Broward County Supervisor of Elections registers potential voters. Under law, the role of the Supervisor of Elections remains the same. If the voter affirms that they meet all eligibility requirements, they will be registered.
For any eligible voter whose voting rights have been restored and wishes to register, download the current Florida Voter Registration form listed below, which should be printed, filled out completely, and mailed to the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office no later than 29 days prior to Election Day to be valid for the upcoming election or register online at https://registertovoteflorida.gov/home.
