Termination reports; require a candidate to be disqualified if he or she files while campaigning.
HB 914 amends Mississippi election law to disqualify any candidate who files a "termination report" (a form ending campaign finance reporting obligations) while still actively campaigning for an election. This rule directly affects candidates running for office in Mississippi, removing them from the ballot if they file such a report before election day. The key mechanism is automatic disqualification: filing a termination report during the campaign period triggers removal from the ballot and bars the candidate from winning the office. The bill does not change campaign finance rules but enforces that candidates cannot stop reporting while still seeking votes.
