Post-election audits; require Secretary of State to publish reports on website.

HB 1166 requires Mississippi's Secretary of State to publish post-election audit reports on the state website within 120 days after each general election. The reports must detail findings on election procedures (like ballot handling and equipment testing), identify issues affecting election outcomes or voter disenfranchisement, and include recommendations for improvement. This bill directly affects the Secretary of State's office and county election officials, who must review and comment on reports before publication. The bill was referred to the Apportionment and Elections Committee in January 2026 but died there in February 2026 without becoming law.
