Questions swirl around whether Trump can vote for himself in the 2024 election

CLAIM: Former President Donald Trump won’t be able to vote for himself in the 2024 presidential election because he was convicted in his hush money trial.

THE FACTS: Trump, a Florida resident, will be able to vote in the election if he stays out of prison in New York, as Florida defers to other states’ disenfranchisement rules for residents convicted of out-of-state felonies. 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.
