Legislative offices; define vacancy.

SB 2062 would clarify what events create a vacancy in Mississippi's state legislature, listing specific causes like death, resignation, felony conviction, loss of voter registration, or failure to maintain district residence. It would require the Governor to issue special election writs within 30 days of a vacancy (except in election years), with 60 days' public notice and a 50-day candidate filing deadline. This bill directly affects state legislators whose seats become vacant and the Governor's office, which would manage the election process. The bill was referred to the Elections Committee but died there on February 4, 2025.
