Voting rights; restore upon satisfaction of all of the sentencing requirements of a conviction.

HB 776 would automatically restore voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of vote fraud or specific crimes listed in Section 241 of the state constitution (or later interpreted as disenfranchising by the Attorney General) once they complete all court-ordered requirements like prison time, probation, or fines. It directly affects individuals with these convictions who are otherwise qualified voters. The bill modifies multiple election laws to ensure their names are automatically reinstated in voter databases upon satisfying sentencing terms, rather than requiring separate applications. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
