Restoration of the Right to Vote Act; enact.

SB 2068, the "Restoration of the Right to Vote Act," automatically restores voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of specific disenfranchising crimes once they complete all sentencing requirements. It directly affects individuals convicted of vote fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of Mississippi's 1890 Constitution, or crimes later interpreted as disenfranchising under attorney general or judicial opinions, provided they otherwise qualify as voters. The bill amends election code sections to require automatic restoration of voting rights after sentencing is fully satisfied, removing the need for additional applications or court orders. This changes current practice where voting rights remained suspended until a separate process was completed. The law applies to all such convictions, with automatic restoration triggered upon full compliance with sentencing terms.
