SB 2644 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; provide for restoration upon completion of sentence or placement on probation.

SB 2644 restores voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of specific crimes (listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution) after completing their prison sentence (including parole) or being sentenced solely to probation without incarceration. The bill requires election systems to automatically remove disqualifications from voter records upon sentence completion or probation imposition, without requiring individuals to provide proof of restored rights. It mandates updates to voter rolls, training for election staff on these changes, and system modifications to reflect restored eligibility. This applies automatically to all eligible individuals without additional registration steps.
