Municipal general election ballots; provide that only the names of those opposed candidates shall be printed upon.

HB 1068 would have changed Mississippi municipal election rules by eliminating ballot printing for candidates running unopposed. If only one qualified candidate filed for an office after the deadline (meeting all eligibility requirements and campaign finance rules), the election commission would declare them elected without opposition, and their name would not appear on the ballot. This applies specifically to municipal general elections where no other candidate qualifies. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law. It directly affected municipalities holding elections with uncontested races.
