MS HB793

Voting rights for individuals convicted of vote fraud, crimes listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, or other disenfranchising crimes 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, or parole

County registrars must remove convicted individuals from the Statewide Elections Management System during the suspension period but automatically restore their names once sentencing requirements are completed

Circuit clerks must maintain lists of persons convicted of disenfranchising crimes, and the Statewide Elections Management System must be updated quarterly to reflect both suspensions and restorations

The bill takes effect July 1, 2026
