HC 28 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Constitution; bring forward section listing disenfranchising crimes.

This bill (HC 28) is a procedural resolution to bring forward Section 241 of Mississippi's 1890 Constitution, which lists crimes that disqualify individuals from voting (such as murder, rape, theft, and forgery). It does not change voting rules but makes this existing constitutional section available for potential future amendment. The resolution would have submitted the section to voters in November 2026 for consideration, though the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026. It directly affects voting eligibility for people convicted of the listed offenses under current law.
