Suffrage; restore to Edward Carter, Sr.
This bill seeks to restore the right to vote to Edward Carter, Sr., a resident of Claiborne County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to a 1998 embezzlement conviction. The legislation states that Carter has served his sentence and has behaved as a law-abiding citizen since his release in 1999. If passed, the act would officially reinstate his eligibility to participate in elections. The bill has not yet become law as it died in committee in May 2024.
