Voter fraud; increase penalties for.

SB 2641 increases penalties for absentee ballot fraud in Mississippi. It raises the minimum fine for "vote fraud" to $1,000 and the minimum prison sentence to one year, with maximums of $5,000 and five years. The bill specifically targets actions like paying people to influence absentee votes, selling votes, fraudulently submitting absentee applications, or falsifying related affidavits. It directly affects individuals committing these specific offenses involving absentee ballots. The bill was referred to the Elections Committee but died there in February 2025.
