Elections; prohibit use of word "re-elect" unless for person who is current incumbent of the office sought.

HB 772 would have prohibited candidates, political committees, or others from using the term "re-elect" in campaign materials unless the candidate was the current officeholder. It applied to all campaign materials (including digital ads and printed content) and required specific disclosure of who paid for the materials. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted, so it has no current effect. It would have directly affected candidates and campaigns in Mississippi elections by restricting how they describe their own re-election efforts. The proposed rule would have allowed "re-elect" only for sitting incumbents, banning its use for challengers or new candidates.
