Mississippi SB2583 would restore voting rights to individuals who have completed their sentences and remained crime- and arrest-free for two years.
Mississippi SB2583, known as the Restoration of Voting Rights Act, would automatically restore voting rights to individuals who have completed their sentences and remained crime- and arrest-free for two years. This applies to those convicted of crimes for which disenfranchisement has been prescribed by the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 or by statute. The act amends Section 23-15-11 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to ensure that individuals who meet these criteria are not disqualified as electors.
