During 2021, we will redouble our efforts to get returning citizens who wish to vote back on the voter lists.  If you are a returning citizen who has questions, or who would like to assist us in these efforts, please email us at Vote@SouthDadeNAACP.org. Despite the 2018 passage of Amendment 4, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appealed a District Court’s ruling that would have allowed many returning citizens to vote. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ruled September 4, 2020 that people with felony convictions will have to pay fines and fees before being allowed to vote.  The NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union, and New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice have been in court at all levels of the initial judgment and at both levels of appeal, defending our right to vote in this case. We recommend that Florida citizens who have a felony record contact the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition at 1-877-MY-VOTE-0  (1-877-698-6830) weekdays between 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM or go to the FRRC website at FloridaRRC.com. to help you determine next steps. THIS IS WHY EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE, NOT ONLY IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS! ELECTIONS FOR GOVERNOR IN FLORIDA ARE HELD IN EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS IN WHICH THERE IS NO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.  IF YOU CAN VOTE, VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN’T. title-2075″
