Bill > HB1876

This bill restores voting rights (suffrage) to Felisha Turner of DeSoto County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a 2007 embezzlement conviction in Tunica County. Specifically, Turner was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to three years of supervised probation under the Mississippi Department of Corrections, which she completed on August 23, 2016. The bill notes that since her probation, Turner has conducted herself as a law-abiding citizen. By passing this individual bill, the Mississippi Legislature is specifically reinstating Turner's right to vote, which had been revoked as a consequence of her felony conviction. The bill will go into effect immediately upon its passage, allowing Turner to regain her electoral privileges.
