HB 4167 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jon Eric Walker of Benton County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Jon E. Walker of Benton County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his suffrage due to criminal convictions and prison sentences. The legislation formally recognizes that Walker has completed his sentences and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen, meeting the state's requirements for voting rights restoration. Once enacted, Walker will regain the ability to participate in elections, though the bill does not alter the underlying legal standards for restoring voting rights to other individuals.
