SB 3405 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Ray Gillespie.

This bill restores voting rights to Ray Gillespie, a resident of Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, who had previously been barred from voting due to a conviction for armed robbery. The legislation declares that the Mississippi Department of Corrections has no records of Gillespie and notes that he has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. If passed, the law would take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing Gillespie to participate in elections again.
