SB 3403 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore suffrage to Teddy Null.

This bill restores the right to vote to Teddy Null, a resident of Alcorn County, Mississippi, who had previously lost his voting rights due to criminal convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his three prior convictions for offenses including receiving stolen property, operating a chop shop, and conspiracy, noting that he has completed his sentences and been discharged from the Department of Corrections. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature formally removes the legal barrier preventing Null from participating in elections. The bill contains no additional policy mechanisms beyond reinstating his eligibility to vote.
