HB 4080 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Evon Williams of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Evon Williams of Hinds County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting privileges due to a 2012 criminal conviction. The legislation formally recognizes that Williams has completed her sentence and has behaved as a law-abiding citizen since her release from the Mississippi Department of Corrections. By passing this act, the state removes the legal barrier preventing her from participating in elections, allowing her to register and cast ballots like any other eligible voter.
