HB 1425 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Qualification deadlines; revise times for certain elections.

HB 1425 revises filing deadlines for candidates in several types of Mississippi elections. It changes the deadline for presidential candidates to file nominations to 75 days before the election (from a previous unspecified timeframe), and sets a 75-day deadline for candidates to qualify for special elections filling vacancies in county offices, legislative seats, congressional seats, and school board positions (previously 105 days for county vacancies). The bill directly affects candidates seeking these offices by altering the timeline for submitting their qualifications. These changes apply to specific election types outlined in Mississippi Code sections related to presidential elections, special elections, and school district trustee elections.
