Suffrage; restore to Felisha Turner of DeSoto County.

Maddy summaryThis bill restores the right to vote to Felisha Turner of DeSoto County, Mississippi, who had been disqualified due to a past conviction for embezzlement. The legislation specifically addresses her case by noting that she completed her three-year supervised probation in 2016 and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. While the text mentions her good conduct as a reason for the restoration, the primary function of the bill is to legally reinstate her eligibility to cast ballots in elections. The measure was introduced in the Mississippi House of Representatives but did not advance beyond committee review in the 2024 session.
