Suffrage; restore suffrage to Pamela Null.
SB 2917 is a bill that would restore voting rights to Pamela Null, a resident of Alcorn County, Mississippi, who lost her right to vote after multiple criminal convictions between 2002 and 2016. The bill specifically addresses her disqualification due to a forgery conviction in 2002 and subsequent sentences for crimes including receiving stolen property and false statements, noting she completed all sentences and has since been a law-abiding citizen. It would formally reinstate her voting eligibility under Mississippi law, directly affecting only Pamela Null. The bill was referred to committee but died there in April 2025, so it did not become law. This is a case-specific restoration, not a change to general voting rights laws.
