Modifies provisions for voter qualifications
HB 2787 modifies Missouri's voter qualification rules by allowing residents aged 17 years and 6 months or older to register to vote (with voting beginning at 18). It restricts voting rights for individuals: (1) incarcerated under a sentence of imprisonment, (2) on probation or parole for a felony conviction until discharged, and (3) convicted of certain felonies or misdemeanors related to voting rights. The bill also maintains the requirement that voters must register in their residence jurisdiction before the election deadline, except as permitted by federal law. These changes directly affect Missouri residents seeking to register or maintain voting eligibility under current state law.
