HC 22 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Constitution; conform initiative signature requirements to be from each congressional district for initiative petition.

This bill proposes an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution to update the signature requirements for citizens who wish to place constitutional changes on the ballot. Under the current system, signatures must be gathered from each congressional district in proportion to the total number needed, but this bill would instead require signatures to be collected equally from every district regardless of population size. The change aims to align the initiative process with the state's current number of congressional districts, ensuring that each district contributes the same number of signatures to a petition. If passed, this would alter how citizens organize and gather support for proposed constitutional amendments across the state.
