Suffrage; restore to Jay Jackson of Hinds County.
HB 1976 restores voting rights to Jay Jackson of Hinds County, Mississippi, who lost his right to vote after a 2011 robbery conviction. The bill states Jackson completed his probation in 2016 and has since been a law-abiding citizen. It directly applies to Jackson as an individual, not to broader voting policies. The legislation was referred to committee but did not advance further.
