Municipal election commissioners; revise appointments of.
HB 351 revises Mississippi's rules for appointing election commissioners in cities. It requires cities to appoint 3, 5, or 7 commissioners based on population size (under 20,000, 20,000-100,000, or over 100,000 residents, respectively), with appointments made at least one year before elections. Commissioners must submit a signed acceptance letter to the Secretary of State and complete a training seminar and skills assessment. The bill also updates procedures for cities to contract with county election officials to handle municipal elections.
