Suffrage; restore to any person disqualified by reason of criminal conviction upon completion of sentence.

SB 2051 would restore voting rights to Mississippi residents convicted of certain crimes (listed in the state constitution) once they complete their full sentence, including incarceration, probation, and parole. It directly affects people with past felony convictions who have finished their court-ordered sentences. The bill amends election laws to remove barriers to voter registration and participation, ensuring those who have completed sentences can register and vote without special approval. The legislation would have updated registration rules in Sections 23-15-11, 23-15-19, and 23-15-47 of Mississippi law. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
