Municipal election commissioners; revise appointments of.

HB 21 revises Mississippi's process for appointing municipal election commissioners. It sets population-based commissioner counts (3, 5, or 7), requires appointments at least one year before elections, and mandates that appointees submit a signed acceptance letter to the Secretary of State. Commissioners must also complete training and a skills assessment. The bill allows municipalities to contract with county election commissions to handle local election duties instead of appointing their own commissioners. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
