Election commissioner; revise office of to be nonpartisan.
HB 339 would make Mississippi's county election commissioner position nonpartisan by prohibiting candidates from campaigning based on party affiliation and requiring their names to appear on ballots without party labels or in alphabetical order. The bill amends election code sections to ensure candidates are listed as nonpartisan, with no political party references on ballots for this office. It directly affects county election commissioners and voters in Mississippi's election process. The bill was referred to the Apportionment and Elections Committee but died there on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
