    Voting rights will be restored to most former felons in Florida:

    Amendment restores the voting rights to felons not convicted of murder or a sexual offense after completing their sentences, including parole or probation. A “YES” vote restores felon voting rights. A “NO” vote does not restore felon voting rights.

    A bunch of states have enacted "Marsy's law", which seems to be identical:

    Creates constitutional rights for crime victims and allows victims to assert those rights. It requires victims to be informed and have a voice in the judicial process. A “YES” vote creates constitutional rights for crime victims. A “NO” vote does not create constitutional rights for crime victims.
