Despite facing serious charges, the music mogul can vote absentee in the 2024 election as he awaits his trial in Brooklyn.

  • Diddy, who is incarcerated at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, is eligible to vote as he has not been convicted.
  • Federal regulations allow pre-trial detainees like Diddy to vote absentee, provided they were eligible before incarceration.
  • The music mogul must request an absentee ballot from his registered state, potentially California or Florida.
  • An Executive Order allows inmates from Maine, Puerto Rico, Vermont, or D.C. to vote while serving time.
  • Los Angeles County jails have introduced in-person voting for eligible inmates as part of a civic engagement initiative.
