SB 2015 Mississippi Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore suffrage to Vedo Kyles.

This bill seeks to restore the right to vote to Vedo Kyles, a resident of Yazoo County, Mississippi. It specifically addresses his previous disqualification from voting, which resulted from convictions for possession of stolen goods and attempted armed robbery in 1995. The legislation states that Kyles has since been released from prison and has lived as a law-abiding citizen. If passed, the act would officially reinstate his eligibility to cast ballots in elections.
