Suffrage; restore to Christopher Preston of Covington County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Christopher Preston, a resident of Covington County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting in 1995 due to convictions for burglary and forgery. The legislation states that Preston has served his prison sentence, completed his release on May 1, 2000, and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature would remove the voting ban that was applied following his criminal convictions. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage and does not alter any existing laws regarding voting rights for other individuals.
