Mississippi HC4 proposes to amend the state constitution to disqualify individuals convicted of any felony from being qualified electors.

Mississippi HC4 seeks to amend Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to exclude individuals convicted of any felony from being qualified electors. The amendment would be submitted to voters in November 2026. Currently, the constitution allows qualified electors who have not been convicted of specific felonies, but this proposal would broaden the exclusion to any felony conviction.
