HB 1993 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Joe Nelson London of Lee County.

This bill restores voting rights to Joe Nelson London of Lee County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified due to two past convictions (burglary in 1983 and cocaine possession in 1990). It specifically reinstates his right to vote after his sentences ended in 1993, citing his "law-abiding and honorable" conduct since then. The bill is a direct, individual restoration and does not create new voting rules or affect other voters. It is purely procedural, targeting one person's specific disqualification.
