HB 4008 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Charles Howery of Yazoo County.

HB 4008 restores voting rights to Charles Howery of Yazoo County, Mississippi, who was disqualified from voting due to past criminal convictions. The bill specifically addresses his disqualification stemming from a 1982 conviction for receiving stolen property, after he completed all sentences and probation for multiple subsequent offenses (including burglary and robbery) through 2016. The legislation states he has since "conducted himself as a law-abiding and honorable citizen." As a procedural bill targeting one individual, it does not establish new policy or affect broader groups.
