HB 1010 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Voter rolls; prohibit purging names from Statewide Elections Management System 120 days or less before the date of any election.

HB 1010 prohibits Mississippi counties from removing voter registrations from the Statewide Elections Management System within 120 days before any election. This specifically affects voters convicted of disenfranchising crimes (such as certain felonies under Mississippi law), as county officials can no longer purge their names during this final 120-day window. The bill amends election laws to ensure these registrations remain active until after the election, preventing last-minute removals that could disenfranchise voters. The policy change applies to all statewide, state legislative, and local elections. It does not affect voter registration deadlines or other eligibility rules.
