Mississippi HB1424 requires certain offenders to take a voter education course and automatically restores voting rights upon release from MDOC.
Mississippi HB1424 mandates the Department of Corrections to develop a voter education course for offenders, focusing on voter registration, voting basics, ballot procedures, civic duty, and other relevant matters. Offenders convicted of vote fraud or disenfranchising crimes must complete this course as a condition of release. Upon satisfying all sentencing requirements and being released from MDOC, these offenders' voting rights are automatically restored and their names are re-entered into the Statewide Elections Management System, the state's voter roll, and the county's pollbooks.
