HB 732 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Voting rights; restore upon satisfaction of all sentencing requirements of a conviction including parole but not probation.

HB 732 would require Mississippi voters convicted of specific crimes - including voter fraud, bribery, theft, arson, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, bigamy, or other crimes deemed disenfranchising by Attorney General opinions - to complete all sentencing requirements (including parole) before regaining voting rights. It excludes murder and rape convictions from this rule. The bill amends election laws to automatically restore voting rights once all sentencing terms are satisfied, but does not apply to probation completion. This directly affects individuals convicted of the listed offenses who are otherwise eligible voters.
