SB 2632 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Sheriff elections; make nonpartisan.

SB 2632 makes Mississippi sheriff elections nonpartisan, prohibiting candidates from campaigning based on political party affiliation and banning political parties from fundraising for, contributing to, or endorsing sheriff candidates. Candidates must file their intent to run 60 days before an election and pay a $100 fee to the county circuit clerk, with ballot listings appearing alphabetically without party labels. If no candidate receives a majority of votes, a runoff election between the top two candidates will be held three weeks later. This bill directly affects all sheriff candidates and the election process for the sheriff's office across Mississippi counties.
