Most citizens with felony convictions will automatically have voting rights restored upon completion of their sentence, including payment of fines and fees. Must not have been found mentally incapacitated without having rights restored.

    If you’re 16 or 17, you can PRE-REGISTER to vote—meaning you’ll get added to the voter rolls once you turn 18.

  • Most Floridians with felony convictions automatically have their rights restored after completing all terms of their sentence, including paying all fines and fees.

    A felony conviction for murder or a sexual offense makes a person ineligible to vote unless their rights are restored by the State Clemency Board. More information at: floridarrc.com

  • You can pre-register to vote! When you turn 18, then you’ll receive a voter ID card in the mail and you’ll be added to the voter rolls.

  • Yes. Whether you just got married or took a big step in your gender-affirming journey, once you’ve legally changed your name, you’ll need to update, too.

HOW TO VOTE

VOTING-BY-MAIL

  • In Florida, you can request an absentee ballot through the mail. This gives voters the option to mail their ballots to their Supervisor of Elections or complete it at home and turn it in to their local elections officials, too.

    You have to request one each election cycle: click here.

  • Each election cycle. If you voted by mail in 2022, you’ll need to re-request before 2024 for the Presidential Election, too. The deadline to request is October 24, 2024.

    Click here to request your vote-by-mail ballot.

  • You can turn in your ballot through the mail—you’ll have to pay for postage—or you can turn in your mail ballot in-person.

    You can bring your ballot to your polling place on election day or to an early voting site or turn it in directly to your supervisor of elections office.

    Find your Supervisor of Elections here.

  • Your completed ballot must be received or delivered in person or by mail to your local Supervisor of Elections’ office no later than 7:00 pm on the day of the election.  

    We recommend mailing your ballot back ASAP and delivering it in-person after November 1st to ensure it is received.

  • If you won’t be home or in the state of Florida on Election Day, voting by mail is one of the best ways to make your voice heard.

    Floridians who go to out-of-state schools can request a ballot be mailed to their campus address, folks with accessibility concerns can vote from the comfort of their homes, or if you don’t have access to reliable transportation, this can help, too.

    Request your mail ballot -or- find your Supervisor of Elections here.

2024 AMENDMENTS

2024 AMENDMENTS

PARTISAN SCHOOL BOARD RACES

AMENDMENT 1

Amendment 1 would make district school board elections partisan starting with the 2026 general election.

This would bring politics into local school board elections by making them partisan. It would nullify part of a 1998 amendment passed by 64% of Florida voters that ensures school board races are nonpartisan. It also creates closed party primaries that take away the ability for millions of Floridians to vote in school board elections.

Lawmakers are pushing the amendment (HJR 31) and placing it on our ballots, pointing to the current politicization, said it would only increase transparency for voters. Opponents worry it would further politicize school board races.

AMENDMENT 2

Amendment 2 establishes a state constitutional right to hunt and fish. If approved by voters, Florida would join around two dozen other states that already have that right in place, including nearby Georgia and Alabama. 

This establishes a state constitutional right to hunt and fish, even though that right already exists in state law. Amendment 2 also proclaims hunting and fishing the ‘preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife,’ potentially overriding existing wildlife protections.

AMENDMENT 3

Amendment 3 legalizes recreational marijuana in Florida. It allows those 21 and older to have up to 3 ounces and up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrate.

Floridians approved medical marijuana in 2016, getting more than 71% of the vote, though it failed to get enough votes when it first made the ballot in 2014.

Amendment 4 guarantees abortion access in Florida. This amendment is generating the most attention in Florida, especially since the Florida Supreme Court approved a six-week abortion ban that  is currently in effect, negatively impacting women across the state and Southeast United States. 


Ensures that Floridians, not politicians, are able to decide what is best for their own lives and bodies by limiting government interference with abortion. Overturns Florida’s abortion ban, which outlaws abortion before many women even realize they are pregnant and provides no real exceptions for rape or the health of the patient.

AMENDMENT 5

Amendment 5 could lead to more savings for property owners who apply for homestead property tax exemptions — and cost local governments millions in reduced revenues. The Legislature-passed ballot measure (HJR 7017) requires annual adjustments to a chunk of the homestead exemption for inflation increases.

Creates an annual inflation adjustment on the amount that is tax-exempt from a homeowner’s primary residence homestead exemption, reducing revenue for local communities by an estimated $111 million annually by 2029 for services like public safety workers, parks, and sanitation collection.

Those savings were touted by the lawmakers in favor of the measure, but some opponents worried about the cost to local government. The measure would reduce non-school local government property taxes by nearly $23 million in the 2025-26 fiscal year, the first time it would take effect, according to a legislative analysis. Within a few years, those losses would reach nearly $112 million, it estimates.

Amendment 6 was approved for the ballot by lawmakers (SJR 1114). It repeals public campaign financing. Public funding is available in Florida for those running for governor and lieutenant governor (who are on the same ticket), attorney general, chief financial officer and agriculture commissioner. To be eligible, candidates must first raise a certain amount from state residents: $150,000 for governor and $100,000 for cabinet positions. They must also abide by state campaign finance laws as well as certain contribution limits.

Ultimately, this Amendment would give more political power to corporations and wealthy individuals and candidates by repealing the public financing option available for state candidate campaigns passed by voters in 1998.
