President Donald Trump will likely be able to vote for himself in the next presidential election.
A legal expert told the Post: Former President After his July 11 ruling, he will retain his right to vote under the 26th Amendment to the Constitution unless Judge Juan Marchan sends him to prison.
“As long as he’s not incarcerated, he can still vote,” election lawyer Ali Najmi said.
Najmi explained that in 2021, the New York State Legislature approved “new legislation that restores voting rights to felony inmates who are released from prison, regardless of whether they are on parole or have completed any post-release supervision.”
Trump, 77, is registered to vote in Florida, where residents convicted of a crime are subject to the laws of the state in which they were sentenced.
Trump, a leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was found guilty on all 34 criminal counts on Thursday.
Trump is the first former president to be indicted and convicted of a crime.
He claims his trial was “rigged” by the Biden administration.
