HB 4124 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jerome Wyatt of Jones County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Jerome Wyatt of Jones County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to a conviction for embezzlement. The legislation states that Wyatt completed his five-year probation sentence in 2023 and has since maintained good conduct as a law-abiding citizen. Upon passage, the act immediately reinstates his eligibility to participate in elections without requiring additional legal proceedings. This measure directly affects only the individual named in the bill and does not change Mississippi's broader voting laws or eligibility criteria for other citizens.
