HB 4078 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Chanty Williams of Coahoma County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Chanty Williams of Coahoma County, Mississippi, who had previously been disqualified due to a 2003 conviction for embezzlement. The legislation states that Williams has served her full sentence and has since behaved as a law-abiding citizen, meeting the criteria to regain her voting eligibility. Once passed, the act immediately takes effect to reinstate her status as an elector.
