Applications for absentee ballots; require sheriffs and police chiefs to have available for certain inmates.

Summary

The bill would change Mississippi law so that sheriffs and municipal police chiefs must have absentee ballot application forms on hand in prisons and jails for inmates who have not been convicted of a crime that removes voting rights. It applies to any incarcerated voter who is registered in the county where they are held. The goal is to make it easier for those eligible prisoners to request and receive absentee ballots.
