HB 4121 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Wykesia Geater of Jackson County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Wykesia Geater, a resident of Jackson County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting rights due to a 2004 embezzlement conviction. The legislation states that Geater completed her six-year probation sentence in 2009 and has since maintained a law-abiding record. Upon passage, the act immediately reinstates her eligibility to participate in elections without requiring additional legal steps. This measure directly affects only the individual named and does not alter Mississippi's broader voting laws or eligibility criteria for other citizens.
