MS HC24

Amends Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution to restructure voter qualification requirements into subsections covering citizenship, age (18+), residency, and registration status.

Suspends voting rights upon conviction for murder, rape, bribery, theft, arson, obtaining money or goods under false pretense, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, or bigamy.

Restores voting rights once a convicted person completes all sentencing requirements including parole or probation.

Repeals Section 253, which previously allowed the legislature to restore voting rights by two-thirds vote in both houses.

Proposes submission of the amendment to qualified electors on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November 2020.
