HB 1985 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jason Terrell Carter of Madison County.

HB 1985 restores voting rights to Jason Terrell Carter of Madison County, Mississippi, who lost his suffrage after a 2005 armed robbery conviction. The bill specifically reinstates his right to vote following his 2013 release from prison, noting he has been law-abiding since. It is a targeted restoration for one individual, not a general policy change. The bill died in committee on April 3, 2025, and does not create new voting eligibility rules.
