Super Tuesday; require Mississippi to hold primaries on.
HB 1584 would require Mississippi to hold its first primary election on Super Tuesday - the nationally recognized date for early presidential primaries - instead of the current August date. If multiple dates are recognized as Super Tuesday, Mississippi would use the earliest one. The Secretary of State must certify the Super Tuesday date each year, with the second primary held four weeks later. This change affects all Mississippi voters participating in primary elections for state and federal offices.
