Bill > HC7

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, specifically Section 241, to clarify voting eligibility. The key provision is that only individuals who are citizens of the United States, are at least eighteen years old, have resided in Mississippi for a specified period (shortened from one year to thirty days in some instances), and meet other established criteria like registration and not having certain felony convictions, will be considered qualified electors. The resolution also specifies that this amendment would apply to voting in state or local elections and referendums, with separate provisions for voting for President and Vice President as determined by Congress. This proposal is being put forth by the Mississippi Legislature and will be presented to the state's voters for approval in an election in November 2026.
