SB 2325 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Expunction and reenfranchisment; revise procedure for requesting.

SB 2325 allows Mississippi governors to restore voting rights to individuals convicted of certain felonies (disenfranchising crimes) after they complete their full sentence - including incarceration, probation, and parole - and pay all court-imposed fines. It requires the Mississippi Department of Corrections or sentencing courts to automatically report eligible individuals to the governor and mandates that voter records be updated to reflect restored rights. The bill specifies that an executive order restoring voting rights serves as sufficient proof for voter registration, and it updates election procedures to ensure eligible voters are not denied registration based on past convictions. This affects people with felony convictions who have met the sentence and fine requirements under Mississippi law.
