Restoration of Voter Rights

Florida remains one of the few states in the U.S. that permanently disenfranchises ex-felons until they have undergone an additional administrative process. Currently more than 300,000 ex-offenders in Florida have completed their sentences and are awaiting restoration of their voting rights. CAHR is engaged in a multi-year project funded by the Florida Bar Foundation to facilitate this process and engage state government in strategies to eliminate this backlog.
