Voting Rights Restoration Committee
Purpose
It is our mission to have Florida join the 40 states in the nation that automatically restore the civil rights of all individuals with past felony convictions upon completion of their sentences. We will do this by working to pass an Amendment to the Florida constitution in the November 2018 election.
