HB 4116 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Lamar Sampson of Humphreys County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Lamar Sampson, a resident of Humphreys County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to a conviction for arson and conspiracy to commit arson. The legislation specifies that Sampson completed his prison sentence and probation and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, meeting the state's requirements for regaining suffrage. By passing this act, the legislature officially removes the legal barrier preventing him from participating in elections.
