As Florida prepares for the 2026 election cycle, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC) is taking its voter education efforts directly to communities across the state through its summer “Know Your Rights Tour.”
The statewide tour, which runs from July 1 through July 29, will make stops in 20 Florida counties, providing returning citizens and formerly incarcerated persons with information about voting eligibility, rights restoration, and the steps needed to participate safely and confidently in upcoming elections.
Founded and led by returning citizens, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition is a grassroots organization dedicated to ending disenfranchisement and reducing barriers faced by people with past convictions. Through advocacy, education and reentry support, FRRC works to create pathways for successful reentry while promoting civic engagement and public safety.
The “Know Your Rights Tour” is designed to provide clear, accurate information to individuals who may be uncertain about their voting status or eligibility following a conviction.
“If you have a past conviction, you deserve clear answers about your eligibility, your record, and your path to the ballot box,” FRRC organizers said in announcing the tour. “No guessing. No fear. Just the facts and people who have your back every step of the way.”
South Florida residents will have three opportunities to attend a local tour stop:
