Restoration of Civil Rights

· If you have a felony conviction and your voting rights have not been restored, you are not allowed to register to vote.

· If you have reason to believe you may be identified as having a felony conviction, you should contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the action may have been initiated for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to confirm your status.

· The Florida Parole Commission provides an online search for restoration of civil rights (Note: The search only returns information about civil rights that have been restored).

· If you have a felony conviction and believe your voting rights have been restored or you wish to make an application to have your rights restored, you can visit the Office of Executive Clemency Website.
