HB 4053 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County, Mississippi, after his voting rights were lost due to past criminal convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his history of grand larceny, burglary, and drug delivery charges, noting that he has completed all terms of his sentences and served his time. It declares that Magee has since conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen and officially reinstates his eligibility to participate in elections starting July 1, 2024. Although the bill was signed into law by the governor, it was subsequently vetoed, preventing the restoration of his suffrage at this time.
