HB 4085 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Quintin Purnell of Grenada County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Quintin Purnell, a resident of Grenada County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to past felony convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his disqualification stemming from grand larceny charges in 1992 and 1993, noting that he has since served his sentence and behaved as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature formally removes the legal barrier preventing Purnell from participating in elections. Once signed into law, Purnell will be eligible to cast ballots in future elections.
