HB 1980 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Kynoa Trotter of Pike County.

HB 1980 restores voting rights to Kynoa Trotter of Pike County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified due to two past convictions (burglary in 2017 and firearm possession as a felon in 2019). The bill formally reinstates his right to vote after he completed his sentences and has maintained law-abiding conduct since his release in 2020. This is a procedural measure targeting a specific individual, not a new policy affecting broader groups or creating new legal standards.
