HB 4179 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jennifer Miles of Winston County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Jennifer Miles of Winston County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting rights due to a 2008 conviction for grand larceny. The legislation formally recognizes that Miles has completed her five-year sentence and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. Upon passage, the act immediately reinstates her eligibility to vote in state and federal elections. This measure addresses the specific case of one individual rather than changing broader voting laws for the general population.
