Voter registration; authorize upon completion of sentence.
HB 433 restores voting rights to Mississippi residents who have completed their criminal sentences for crimes that disqualify voters. The bill requires election officials to automatically reinstate voter registration upon completion of incarceration, probation, or parole, without needing additional proof from voters. It mandates the Secretary of State to provide public information about disqualifying crimes and the restoration process, and to ensure election officials can verify sentence completion electronically. This directly affects individuals with past convictions who have finished their sentences.
