"NEW YORK — Convicted felon Donald Trump resides in Florida, a state notorious for restricting the voting rights of people with such convictions. But he can still vote in the Sunshine State if he stays out of prison in New York.
That’s because Florida defers to other states’ voting rules for residents convicted of out-of-state felonies. In Trump’s case, New York law only removes the right to vote for people convicted of felonies when they’re incarcerated.
Once they’re out of prison, their rights are automatically restored, even if they’re on parole, per a 2021 law passed by the state’s Democratic-controlled Legislature."
