Voting rights; restore upon satisfaction of all of the sentencing requirements of a conviction.

HB 318 would automatically restore voting rights for Mississippi residents convicted of vote fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of the state constitution, or other historically disenfranchising offenses once they complete all sentencing requirements (such as probation or fines). It directly affects people who have finished serving their sentences but were previously barred from voting. The bill amends election laws to automatically reinstate their voter registration without requiring them to apply for restoration. This change applies to all qualifying convictions without additional steps.
