On December 9, 2006, Florida's Clemency Board adopted changes to the Rules of Executive Clemency which will make it easier for felons in Florida to get their civil rights restored. The rule changes will allow felons that have been arrest-free for five years to obtain restoration of civil rights without a hearing, unless convicted of certain violent crimes or if they owe victim restitution. Anyone arrest-free for 15 years or more can have their rights restored without a hearing regardless of their crime unless they owe victim restitution. However, cases must be reviewed for eligibility in accordance with all rules of executive clemency and must be processed in the order in which they are received.

Convicted felons in the State of Florida have the opportunity to have their civil rights - including the right to vote - restored. The process and the time it takes varies, dependent upon the nature of the crime. Visit this link to see the categories.

Here is the link that you can fill out to begin the process of restoring your civil rights - including your right to vote.

Anyone needing information on the restoration of civil rights process should contact the Office of Executive Clemency:
