Suffrage; restore to Mattie Hardiman of DeSoto County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Mattie Hardiman of DeSoto County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting rights due to a 2009 conviction for false pretense. The legislation acknowledges that her five-year probation sentence ended in 2014 and notes that she has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this act, the state officially removes the legal barrier preventing her from participating in elections.
