HC 4 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Constitution; amend to provide that no individual who has been convicted of a felony is not a qualified elector.

Mississippi House Concurrent Resolution 4 (HC 4) proposes amending the state constitution to bar individuals convicted of any felony from voting. Currently, Mississippi law excludes voters convicted of specific felonies like murder or rape, but this amendment would extend the restriction to all felony convictions. The change would remove voting eligibility for anyone with a felony conviction, regardless of the crime's nature or sentence. The resolution died in committee in February 2026 and never advanced to a vote by voters.
