The report [by The Sentencing Project] estimated that, as of
2016, around 6.1 million people, or about 2.5 percent of the U.S.
voting age population, were disenfranchised due to a felony
conviction. Florida was estimated to have 1,686,318 persons—10.43
percent of the voting age population—disenfranchised due to
felonies. The majority of the disenfranchised persons, around
88.23 percent, were estimated to have completed their sentences.
Florida had the highest rate of felons disenfranchised in the
U.S. in 2016, according to the report. The estimated average rate
of felon disenfranchisement across the 50 states was 2.28 percent
in 2016.
