MS HB282

Modifies voter qualification requirements to suspend voting rights upon conviction of vote fraud, crimes listed in Mississippi Constitution Section 241, or crimes interpreted as disenfranchising in Attorney General opinions, rather than permanently disqualifying voters.

Automatically restores voting rights once a convicted person satisfies all sentencing requirements of their conviction, including completion of sentence, probation, and any other court-ordered obligations.

Requires county registrars to automatically restore a person's name to the Statewide Elections Management System, state voter roll, and county pollbooks upon completion of all sentencing requirements.

Updates the Statewide Elections Management System to track and report voters who have satisfied sentencing requirements and to facilitate automatic restoration of voting rights.

Takes effect July 1, 2025.
