Mississippi SB3397 restores the right of suffrage to Frankie O'Neal Ward, Jr., who was disqualified as an elector due to past convictions. Ward was convicted in Simpson County for armed robbery, grand larceny, and kidnapping, and served concurrent terms in the Mississippi Department of Corrections. He completed his sentence and probation, and the bill notes his conduct as a law-abiding citizen since his release. The act takes effect from July 1, 2026.
