Suffrage; restore to Tracey Rice of Lowndes County.
HB 1967 restores voting rights to Tracey Rice of Lowndes County, Mississippi, who lost her suffrage due to a 2014 shoplifting conviction and subsequent probation violations. The bill specifically revokes her disqualification after she completed all sentences (including probation and house arrest) and has since been a law-abiding citizen. It formally reinstates her right to vote under Mississippi law without altering broader voting eligibility rules. This is a targeted restoration for one individual, not a general policy change.
