HB 4153 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Sandra Warner of Hinds County.

This bill restores voting rights to Sandra L. Warner of Hinds County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a conviction for possession of stolen property. The legislation removes her disqualification status after she completed her five-year sentence and probation, noting she has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. Once passed, the act takes effect immediately, allowing Warner to register and vote in future elections. The measure applies only to this specific individual and does not change broader voting laws or affect other citizens.
