MS HB1347

Voting rights for individuals convicted of vote fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, or crimes interpreted as disenfranchising in Attorney General opinions would be suspended upon conviction rather than permanently revoked

Voting rights would be automatically restored once the individual has satisfied all sentencing requirements of their conviction, including any incarceration, probation, parole, and other conditions

County registrars would be required to remove convicted individuals from voter rolls during their sentence but automatically restore their names to the Statewide Elections Management System, state voter roll, and county pollbooks upon completion of sentencing requirements

The Statewide Elections Management System would be updated to provide regular reports to county officials identifying voters who have satisfied all sentencing requirements and are eligible for automatic voter restoration

Effective date: July 1, 2026
