Mississippi HB318 restores voting rights upon satisfaction of sentencing requirements for disenfranchising crimes.

Mississippi HB318 amends the Mississippi Code to restore voting rights to individuals convicted of disenfranchising crimes once they have satisfied all sentencing requirements. The bill defines disenfranchising crimes as vote fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, and any crime interpreted as disenfranchising in later Attorney General opinions.
