Constitution; conform initiative signature requirements from each congressional district to number of current congressional districts.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to adjust the signature requirements for initiative petitions seeking to amend Mississippi's Constitution. It specifically revises the rule that limits signatures from any single congressional district to a proportion of the total required, ensuring that proportion is based on the current number of congressional districts (not a historical count). This change directly affects citizens who gather signatures for constitutional initiatives by making the per-district cap proportional to the present district map, which may have shifted due to redistricting. It does not alter the total signature threshold (12% of gubernatorial votes) but modifies how signatures must be distributed across districts.
