If your voting rights have been removed because of a felony conviction or mental incapacity you may request that they be restored. For most felony convictions the request for restoration of voting rights is automatically granted, but first you must make the request.
Mental Incapacitation: A person who has been declared mentally incapacitated with respect to voting who desires to have their competency restored must begin by filing for a Suggestion of Capacity with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Persons requiring further information should contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court at
(727) 464-3267
