Voting Rights Restoration Committee

Get Petition 
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.


Petition Gathering

Check the Resources below, particularly the presentation "Restore the Vote."  Get the petition (see button above), print out copies and get signatures.  (Note:  Date of Birth is sufficient if Voter Registration Number is not known.  All other information is needed.)

Please mail completed petitions to:

Jerry Weeks
3303 Songbird Ln
Lakeland, FL  33811

This will be processed through the state League and give us credit.
