HB 4128 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to criminal convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his disqualification stemming from a 1978 grand larceny conviction and subsequent sentences for burglary and drug delivery offenses, noting that he completed all terms and conditions of his sentences. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature formally reinstates Magee's eligibility to participate in elections, recognizing his conduct as a law-abiding citizen since his release in 2008. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage and does not alter any broader voting laws or affect other individuals.
