HB 1027 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Voting rights; restore upon satisfaction of all sentencing requirements of a conviction including parole but not probation.

HB 1027 would have restored voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of specific non-violent crimes (including voter fraud, theft, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, and bigamy) once they completed all sentencing requirements - including parole - but not probation. It applied to individuals convicted of these crimes (excluding murder and rape) who were otherwise qualified voters. The bill required county registrars to remove voters from the rolls upon conviction and reinstate them only after full compliance with sentencing terms. This legislation died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
