Suffrage; restore to Ivory Moore, Jr., of Washington County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Ivory Moore, Jr. of Washington County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to a 2000 shoplifting conviction and subsequent probation violation. The legislation formally recognizes that Moore has served his sentence and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, removing the legal barrier that prevented him from participating in elections. Once enacted, this act immediately reinstates his eligibility to cast ballots in all future elections without requiring additional court action or waiting periods. The measure directly impacts only this individual and does not alter Mississippi's broader voting laws or affect other citizens' rights.
