With the deadline to register for the Presidential Election less than a month away, last-minute voter registration efforts are ramping up. Win Justice Florida is using Facebook and other social media outlets to highlight a service felons can use to help get their voting rights restored. Melissa Morales is the State Director for the group.
"We heard that they were raising funds to actually get people's fines and fees paid off. So we really just wanted to help uplift their efforts and raise awareness that this is a service available to people," said Morales.
The deadline to register is Oct 5. Most felons who have paid off all fines, fees, and restitution after being released from prison and probation or parole can register to vote. Those who committed felony sexual assault charges or murder are not included.
