SB 2638 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Elections; clarify procedural qualifications for candidates.

SB 2638 would have required candidates for elected office in Mississippi to submit a written certification confirming their identifying information is accurate and they meet all eligibility requirements for the position. It would have disqualified candidates found to have voted outside the boundaries of the district they sought to represent during the residency period required for the office. The bill also established a specific appeal process for candidates denied ballot placement by election commissions. This bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
