Bill > SB3280

This bill restores the right to vote (suffrage) to Hillary Susanne Ivy of Clarke County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a 2015 conviction for false pretenses. After being sentenced to five years of probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections on December 14, 2016, and having a notice of cause closure filed in the Circuit Court of Clarke County on January 24, 2022, the Legislature has determined that Ivy has since demonstrated herself to be a law-abiding citizen. The bill specifically grants her full voting rights, effectively removing the legal barriers that prevented her from participating in elections due to her previous criminal conviction. The provisions of this bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing Ivy with the ability to vote in future elections.
