Suffrage; restoration upon completion of sentence and other conditions for individuals convicted of nonviolent crimes.

SB 2631, if enacted, would automatically restore voting rights to Mississippi residents convicted of nonviolent felonies upon completing their sentence, paying all fines/restitution, and remaining crime-free for seven years. It directly affects individuals with nonviolent felony convictions who meet these three specific conditions, removing their disenfranchisement under current law. The bill amends election statutes to clarify that such individuals are no longer disqualified from voting due to their conviction, requiring no additional legal action to regain voting eligibility. This policy change would update Mississippi's voting eligibility rules to align with the proposed "Restoration of Voting Rights Act" provisions.
