Suffrage; restore to any person disqualified by reason of criminal conviction upon completion of sentence.
SB 2213 would restore voting rights in Mississippi to residents convicted of certain crimes (like vote fraud or offenses listed in the state constitution) once they complete their full sentence, including incarceration, probation, and parole. It directly affects individuals with past convictions who have finished all court-ordered terms. The bill amends election laws to require election officials to automatically reinstate voter registration for these individuals upon sentence completion, removing the previous barrier that kept them disqualified. This change would allow them to register and vote without additional steps after finishing their sentence.
