Presidential elctors; revise day scheduled to give votes for president and vice president.
HB 1581 proposed changing the date when Mississippi's presidential electors meet to cast votes for president and vice president. It aimed to revise the existing law requiring electors to convene on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law. This procedural change would have affected Mississippi's electoral process for selecting presidential electors, but no concrete policy shift occurred.
