Chances are President Donald Trump will still be able to vote for himself in the upcoming presidential election.
A legal expert told The Post the former president will retain his 26th Amendment right to vote following his July 11 sentencing — so long as Justice Juan Merchan doesn’t send him to prison.
“As long as he’s not incarcerated, he can still vote,” said election attorney Ali Najmi.
In 2021 New York state lawmakers approved “a new law” that restored voting rights to felony convicts “upon release from incarceration, regardless of if they’re on parole or have a term of post-release supervision,” Najmi explained.
Trump, 77, is registered to vote in Florida, which defers to the sentencing state’s laws when one of its residents is convicted.
Trump, the presumptive Republican 2024 presidential nominee, was found guilty on all 34 criminal counts Thursday.
Trump is the first ex-president to prosecuted and convicted of a crime.
He has claimed his trial was “rigged” by the Biden administration.
