HB 36 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Municipal executive committee; revise procedure for filing vacancies of.

HB 36 changes how vacancies in municipal executive committees are filled when they occur within 90 days of a municipal primary election. Instead of the municipal committee filling the vacancy, the State Executive Committee must appoint a replacement. Appointees serve until the next regular election for executive committees, ensuring continuity through the election cycle. This applies only to vacancies near primary elections and does not alter other committee procedures or candidate qualifications.
