MS HC10

Amends Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution to suspend voting rights for persons convicted of a felony upon conviction until all sentencing requirements are satisfied.

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

Removes the existing list of specific felonies (murder, rape, bribery, theft, arson, etc.) that disqualified voters, replacing it with a blanket felony conviction standard.

Allows voting rights restoration only after a convicted felon completes all sentencing requirements, with no legislative discretion for early restoration.

Proposes the amendment be submitted to voters on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November 2024.
