MS HB23

Voting rights for individuals convicted of voter fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, or other disenfranchising crimes would be automatically suspended upon conviction rather than permanently revoked

Voting rights would be automatically restored once the convicted person has satisfied all sentencing requirements of their conviction, eliminating the need for a gubernatorial pardon or legislative action

County registrars must remove convicted individuals from the Statewide Elections Management System during their sentence period, then automatically restore their names to voter rolls, pollbooks, and the state system upon completion of sentencing requirements

Circuit clerks must maintain alphabetical lists of persons convicted of disenfranchising crimes and enter this information into the Statewide Elections Management System quarterly

The Statewide Elections Management System must be updated to provide regular reports to counties on both disenfranchising convictions and voters who have satisfied their sentencing requirements and are eligible for automatic restoration
