Effective Tuesday Jan 8, 2019, over 1 million Florida residents will have their voting rights restored and can register to vote. Register online to vote in Florida

Amendment 4 Update from State Senator Jason Pizzo... On the morning of Monday, Jan 7, several legislators joined me via phone call with the Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin, Supervisor of Elections Christina White, David Maer from the State Attorney’s Office and Public Defender Carlos Martinez. We’ll be regrouping for another meeting to work through other attendant issues, but here’s what we clarified, so far:

1. The Supervisor of Elections will be accepting registrations beginning on the effective date, Tuesday, Jan 8, 2019.
2. Those with prior convictions must have completed their “sentence” in order to qualify as “restored”. (There is some disagreement on what is included in a “sentence”, such as court costs, restitution, fines, etc., which we’ll be working to clarify).
3. The State Attorney’s Office will not be prosecuting anyone who mistakenly checks off the “restored” box. 
4. The Supervisor confirmed that applications are sent to the State Division of Elections, where she believes voter registration cards will be sent out. 
5. The burden will be on the State to research and verify if there is any part of the sentence which has not been completed, but this process will not hold up the ability for a registrant to vote.

Hello fellow Kendall Democrats! I'm Bryan Hernandez, interim President of the West Kendall Democrats club, and I'm excited to tell you that we're re-launching our club. We will have our general club meeting next month. Former FL State Representative Robert Ascensio will be our keynote speaker to reflect on the 2018 election and plan for the future. 

I have been here before. The exhaustion that you've been ignoring starts to catch up with you and despair starts to creep in. How could the majority of voters choose DeSantis over Gillum? I don't know. This I do know. We have a choice.

Key election results for South Florida

Early voting is taking place daily from 7am to 7pm and the 2018 ballot will be packed with a number of amendments for voters to decide on. Many of which have been loaded with additional provisions. We’ve had a team review the amendments and the entire Democratic Executive Committee voted on the below recommendations after lengthy discussion. We hope that you find our recommendations useful.
