HB 4152 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Issac Thorne of Washington County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Isaac Thorne, a resident of Washington County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to criminal convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his disqualification stemming from multiple felony convictions for burglary and robbery between 1998 and 2008, noting that he has since been discharged from supervision and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature would remove the legal barriers preventing Thorne from participating in elections. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and does not establish new general rules for voter restoration.
