Suffrage; restore to Shanikqua Rena Douglas.
SB 3286 restores voting rights to Shanikqua Rena Douglas of Clay County, Mississippi, who lost her right to vote after a 2015 conviction for fraud (obtaining money under false pretenses). The bill states she has completed her sentence, including a 2018 mayhem conviction, and has since maintained lawful conduct as a law-abiding citizen. It formally reinstates her voting rights, effective July 1, 2025. This is a specific restoration for one individual, not a broader policy change.
