HB 89 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Secretary of State; require to provide election officials training on disenfranchising crimes.

HB 89 requires Mississippi's Secretary of State to create and maintain an online database showing which crimes disenfranchise voters (with specific code numbers) and make it accessible via website and phone. It mandates that election officials have electronic access to this database to verify voter eligibility, preventing wrongful denial of voting rights based on outdated or incorrect information about disenfranchising crimes. The bill also updates training requirements for election commissioners and registrars to include proper use of this database. This directly affects election officials who process voter registrations and ensures they can accurately determine eligibility under current law.
