Salute Mississippi Poll Workers who have served over 50 consecutive years as the "Frontline of Democracy."
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a policy bill) honoring Mississippi poll workers with 50+ consecutive years of service. It commends them as the "Frontline of Democracy" and recognizes specific individuals (including Colene Cain and Freddie Byrd Farmer) who received a Capitol ceremony on February 27, 2025. The resolution has no policy changes - it solely offers symbolic recognition for their decades of nonpartisan election work. It does not alter election laws, provide funding, or affect voters or officials.
