HB 4117 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Kynoa Trotter of Pike County.

This Mississippi bill restores the right to vote to Kynoa Trotter of Pike County, who had lost his voting rights due to prior felony convictions for burglary and firearm possession. The legislation formally removes the legal barriers preventing Trotter from participating in elections, acknowledging his completed sentences and post-release conduct as a law-abiding citizen. Once enacted, Trotter will regain full eligibility to register and vote in Mississippi elections without further legislative action.
