HB 4131 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Larry Mangum of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Larry Mangum of Hinds County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to criminal convictions. The legislation applies specifically to Mangum, who was disqualified after being convicted of embezzlement in 2007 and marijuana sales in 2018, with his sentence expiring in December 2019. The bill states that Mangum has since conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen and authorizes the immediate restoration of his suffrage upon passage. This measure does not change general voting laws but addresses one individual's specific case.
