felon voting rights

State election officials heard suggestions about how to update the process for felons to seek what are known as advisory opinions about their eligibility to vote.

Plaintiffs have dropped a federal lawsuit challenging how the state carried out a constitutional amendment that restores voting rights to felons who complete their sentences.

The voting fraud charges against the 69-year-old Tallahassee woman have been dropped. The reason: there was little proof Marsha Ervin intended to vote illegally.

An elderly Black woman faces charges for false voter registration and voting as an ineligible elector.

The federal lawsuit says state leaders have failed to carry out a constitutional amendment designed to restore voting rights to felons who complete their sentences.

Voting rights groups say Florida’s voter registration form is flawed and it’s leading to people’s arrest. The Florida League of Women Voters and Florida chapter of the NAACP filed suit last week alleging the form violates the National Voter Registration Act.

Governor Ron DeSantis made a spectacle of arresting voters with felony convictions. Now, some eligible voters are opting out of midterms even beyond Florida.

Volunteers with the Big Bend Voting Rights Project have been going door-to-door in the region's low-voting neighborhoods urging unregistered residents to sign up.

State leaders say the primaries went smoothly, but they’re still talking about work for the state’s new Office of Election Crimes and Security.

"I think it's a scary proposition when the governor is arresting people for trying to vote," Sen. Randolph Bracy said during a press conference Monday.
