Counties; authorize to pay poll workers certain mileage.
HB 250 would require Mississippi counties to reimburse poll workers for mileage when using personal vehicles to travel more than 10 miles to return to the registrar's office after polls close on election day. The reimbursement rate would match the federal employee mileage rate for each mile over 10. This applies specifically to poll managers and other election workers required to make this return trip. The law would take effect on July 1, 2026.
