Suffrage; restore to Brandon Shelton of Lee County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Brandon Shelton of Lee County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to a criminal conviction and subsequent prison sentence. The legislation specifically addresses his eligibility by acknowledging his release from custody on February 6, 2025, and noting his conduct as a law-abiding citizen since then. Once enacted, the act takes effect immediately, allowing Shelton to participate in elections without further legal barriers. The measure does not change general voting laws but applies a specific restoration of rights to one individual based on his completed sentence and behavior.
