What is Amendment 4?

This amendment was passed by Florida voters on November 6, 2018.  The ballot summary stated, 

"This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence, including parole or probation.  The amendment does not apply to those convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case by case basis."

It is the voter's responsibility to confirm whether or not their voting rights have been restored. The Office of the Public Defender may be able to assist you in determining your voting rights: https://pd15.org/services/index.htm#Civil; (561) 355-7655.
