Welcome to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Home Page
The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition is committed to removing Florida's civil rights ban, which is imposed on citizens with past felony convictions.
Florida is one of only three states that strip all individuals with past felony convictions of their civil rights, including their fundamental right to vote, even after completion of their sentences.
Floridians with past felony convictions lose not only the right to vote, but also the right to serve on a jury and to hold public office. Restoration of civil rights is also necessary to obtain certain occupational licenses.
Close to one million Floridians are affected by this civil rights ban. We hope that you will find useful information on this site and you will share it with those that you care about.
