Voting Overseas

U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote as absentee voters, provided they are eligible to vote in their state.

Can I vote if I have a record?

You probably can. Find out!

Individuals convicted of a felony are ineligible to vote while incarcerated, on parole, or on probation. Voting rights are automatically restored after completion of the entire sentence, unless convicted of a felony relating to murder or sexual abuse (in which case one still has to apply to the governor for a pardon). Ex-offenders who are eligible should re-register to vote.

I am a college student. Where do I register to vote?

My school's address or my parent's address?

Students who lived in Florida prior to moving to another state for school, and who wish to establish or keep their Florida voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ address) should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. If you move to your school address in Florida, with the present intent to make it your principal home and you do not plan to move back to the place you lived before, you should be able to establish residency in Florida. While the Florida Constitution requires that you be “a permanent resident of the state, “no court decision or other law suggests that you need to have anything more than a present intent to stay at your new address.
