Suffrage; restore to Elaine Goudy of Covington County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Elaine Goudy of Covington County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting rights due to a criminal conviction for arson and drug transfer. The legislation states that Goudy has completed her prison sentence and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, making her eligible for the restoration of her civil rights. If passed by the full legislature, the change would take effect on July 1, 2024, allowing her to participate in elections.
