The right of suffrage is hereby fully and completely restored to Matthew Henry McBride, of Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, who was disqualified as an elector as a result of his conviction for theft of property on January 30, 2013, in Rutherford County, Tennessee, for which he was sentenced to six (6) years probation.
