Restores voting rights to felons after they complete all sentencing requirements.
Mississippi HB284 amends the state code to restore voting rights to individuals convicted of a felony once they have satisfied all sentencing requirements. The bill specifies that the right to vote is suspended upon conviction but is automatically restored upon completion of all sentencing. This includes removing the individual's name from the Statewide Elections Management System, state voter roll, and county pollbooks. The bill also details procedures for maintaining and revising voter rolls, handling voter registration, and the responsibilities of election commissioners.
