Expunction and reenfranchisment; revise procedure for requesting.
SB 2772 allows Mississippi's Governor to restore voting rights to individuals convicted of certain disenfranchising crimes after they complete their full sentence (including probation or parole) and pay all court-imposed fines. The bill requires the Mississippi Department of Corrections or sentencing courts to automatically report eligible individuals to the Governor, who issues executive orders restoring voting rights. These orders must be accepted by election officials as proof of eligibility, and voter registration systems must be updated to reflect restored rights without requiring additional verification. The law directly affects formerly incarcerated people who meet the completion and payment conditions, streamlining their path to voting access.
