HB 1955 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Charles Kenneth Landrum of Jones County.

This bill restores voting rights to Charles Kenneth Landrum of Jones County, Mississippi, who lost his right to vote in 2008 after a forgery conviction. It specifically reinstates his suffrage without altering broader voting laws, based on his completed sentence (released October 2010) and the legislature's finding that he has since been law-abiding. The bill directly affects only Mr. Landrum and requires no new administrative processes.
