Donald J. Trump Voting Rights Restoration Act; create.
This bill, titled "Donald J. Trump Voting Rights Restoration Act," would amend Mississippi election laws to suspend voting rights for individuals convicted of specific non-violent crimes - including voter fraud, bribery, theft, arson, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, or bigamy - until they complete all sentencing requirements (including parole but not probation). It affects people convicted of these offenses, excluding murder and rape, by requiring their names to be removed from voter rolls until sentencing is fully satisfied. The bill updates multiple election code sections to enforce this suspension and automatic restoration upon completion of sentencing. The misleading title references Donald J. Trump, but the policy would restrict voting access for certain convicted individuals, not restore rights. (Note: The bill died in committee in 2026.)
