MS SB2365

Creates the "Restoration of Voting Rights Act" to automatically restore voting rights to persons disqualified under Mississippi Constitution Section 241 upon full completion of sentence and remaining crime- and arrest-free for two years following completion.

Voting rights are restored by operation of law without requiring legislative action, and eligible persons may register to vote with local registrars.

Amends Section 23-15-11 to clarify that persons convicted of crimes subject to disenfranchisement are not disqualified as electors if they have completed all sentence conditions and are eligible under the restoration provisions.

Applies to crimes specified in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 and crimes prescribed for disenfranchisement under Section 244A of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890.

Effective July 1, 2024.
