Sign to Support Restoring the Eligibility to Vote to 1.4 Million Americans in Florida
Florida’s system for restoring a person’s eligibility to vote is broken. If a person is convicted of a felony, they are barred for life from voting. This excludes more than 1.4 million Floridians even after completing their full sentence. These are our family, friends and neighbors who have earned back a second chance.
Florida is 1 of only 4 states in the country whose constitution permanently disenfranchises all citizens with past felony convictions (the other states are Kentucky, Iowa and Virginia).
Florida’s constitution grants politicians the sole authority to restore a person’s eligibility to vote on a case-by-case basis. Amendment 4 will fix Florida’s broken system!
As voting by mail begins in just a month in Florida, we are asking you to sign the pledge to support the Voting Restoration Amendment - Amendment 4. This amendment gives Florida voters the choice to return the eligibility to vote to those who have served their time and paid their debts.
When a debt is paid, it’s paid. People from all walks of life support Second Chances. Florida law should too.
Sign the pledge to show your support for Second Chances and Amendment 4.
