HB 4143 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Leporion Versell of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Leporion Versell, a resident of Hinds County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to past felony convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his disqualification resulting from a 1999 robbery conviction and subsequent probation violations, noting that he has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature formally reinstates his eligibility to participate in elections without requiring additional legal proceedings. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage and applies only to this individual rather than establishing a broader policy change.
