Mississippi SB2048 restores voting rights for nonviolent felons after sentence completion, fine payment, and a seven-year crime-free period.
Mississippi SB2048, known as the "Restoration of Voting Rights Act," aims to restore voting rights for individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies. This bill requires that individuals have fully served their sentence, including any incarceration, parole, probation, or post-release supervision, paid all associated fees, fines, and restitution, and remained crime-free for seven years following sentence completion. The registrar of the county in which the voter resides will remove the individual's name from the Statewide Elections Management System and restore their voting rights.
