HB 4157 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Robert Gill of Greene County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Robert Gill, a resident of Greene County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to a 2015 conviction for theft of a motor vehicle. The legislation formally recognizes that Gill has completed his sentence and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, allowing him to participate in elections again. It applies only to this specific individual and does not change the general rules for restoring voting rights to other citizens. The law takes effect immediately upon passage by the legislature.
