Suffrage; restore to Tramaine Wagner of Walthall County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Tramaine Wagner of Walthall County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to a conviction for robbery and related charges. The legislation formally recognizes that Wagner has completed his sentence and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, removing the legal barrier that prevented him from participating in elections. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature officially reinstates his status as an eligible elector without requiring any additional conditions or procedures.
