Ease Access to Suffrage (EASE) Act; enact.

SB 2626, the EASE Act, establishes a program within Mississippi's Secretary of State's office to simplify the process for restoring voting rights after legislative approval. It requires publishing clear criteria (like waiting periods after prison release, proof of paid fines, and rehabilitation completion), creating a public online portal for applications, and launching a media campaign to inform eligible individuals. The program ensures applicants can track their status and that voting rights are restored for the next election after a suffrage bill is approved. It directly affects people whose voting rights were restored by the legislature under Mississippi's 1890 Constitution but need administrative support to regain voting access. The bill aims to make the existing restoration process more transparent and accessible, requiring applicants to secure a legislator sponsor for their voting rights request.
