HB 4120 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Charles Kenneth Landrum of Jones County.

This bill restores voting rights to Charles Kenneth Landrum, a resident of Jones County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a conviction for uttering forgery. The legislation states that Landrum completed his prison sentence in 2010 and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. Once enacted, the act immediately reinstates his eligibility to vote in Mississippi elections. This measure applies only to this specific individual and does not change broader voting laws or affect other citizens.
