As attorneys, every day we represent people whose rights have been infringed upon or taken away. One of the most fundamental rights we have is our right to vote. We believe every eligible voter should have an equal and fair opportunity to register to vote and cast a ballot. Millions of Americans miss their opportunity to vote because they don’t know how to register to vote, or they miss the deadline to register. It is crucial to have a voice in our elected leadership, in our policies, and in the direction of our communities. Sadly, many of our neighbors do not exercise their right to vote. We encourage you to be mindful of voting registration deadlines and to get out and make your voice heard.
Be 18 years old (you may pre-register to vote if you are 16 years old)
Not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored
Not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored
* The Voting Restoration Amendment, known as Amendment 4, restores voting rights to felony offenders, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, “upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation.” Please visit the Division of Elections at https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/for-voters/voter-registration/constitutional-amendment-4felon-voting-rights/ for more information regarding eligibility to vote pursuant to Amendment 4.
Florida voters can register to vote in a variety of ways:
In person at your local supervisor of elections office.
By completing a Florida Voter Registration Application and mailing it to your local supervisor of elections office
The attorneys of Akbar Thomas Law Firm remind you that voting is a powerful means of voicing our opinions and shaping the future of our community and nation. Every vote counts and plays a critical role in guiding decisions that impact our daily lives. Participating in elections is not just a civic duty but a way to demonstrate our dedication to the issues that matter most to us. By casting our ballots, we engage in democracy and contribute to building a better future for generations to come. So, let’s embrace our right to vote and drive meaningful change together.
