Mike Tyson will be taking part in the electoral process for the first time.
“Iron Mike” will be allowed to vote in the presidential election because of a new Nevada law allowed convicted felons to do so. And he plans to take advantage of the opportunity.
“This election will be my 1st time voting. I never thought I could because of my felony record. I’m proud to finally vote,” he tweeted.
He hasn’t revealed who he will for. The U.S. general election is Nov. 3.
