Electoral Reform in Florida - Expansion of The Electorate

Expansion of The Electorate

Florida previously had rigorous felony disenfranchisement laws that denied approximately 400,000 people the privilege of voting In 2007, at the urging of Gov. Charlie Crist, the laws were relaxed, allowing hundreds of thousands of non-violent offenders to regain their voting rights after having served their prison terms.

All qualified voters are allowed to vote absentee under Florida law.
