Restores voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of disenfranchising crimes after completing their sentences.
Mississippi HB23 amends the state's voting laws to automatically restore voting rights for individuals convicted of disenfranchising crimes once they have completed all sentencing requirements. This includes crimes defined as disenfranchising in the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 and those interpreted as such in later Attorney General opinions. The bill mandates that once a person has fulfilled their sentence, their name will be automatically reinstated in the Statewide Elections Management System, the state's voter roll, and the county's pollbooks.
