Bill > HB1875

This bill restores voting rights to Frederick Kenyon Clark of Leake County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a 1998 armed robbery conviction in Attala County. Specifically, Clark was sentenced to six years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections and was released in September 2004 after serving his full sentence. The bill notes that since his release, Clark has conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen, and the legislature is now granting him full suffrage (voting) rights. In the context of many states, individuals convicted of certain crimes can lose their right to vote, and this bill represents an individual legislative action to reinstate those rights for Clark. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing Clark to regain his electoral privileges.
