Election commissioner; revise office to be nonpartisan.

HB 149 would make Mississippi's county election commissioner position nonpartisan by prohibiting candidates from campaigning based on political party affiliation and requiring all candidates to be listed alphabetically without party labels on ballots. The bill amends state election laws to remove party references from ballot listings for election commissioners and ensures candidates qualify through petition processes without party designation. This change directly affects voters and candidates in Mississippi county elections, altering how election commissioner races appear on ballots and how candidates campaign. The bill was introduced to align election commissioner elections with nonpartisan standards but died in committee in February 2025.
