HB 380 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

"Mississippi Students Voicing Opinions in Today's Elections (VOTE) Act"; create.

HB 380, the "Mississippi Students Voicing Opinions in Today's Elections (VOTE) Act," would have created a pilot program to provide voter registration information to 12th-grade students in Mississippi public schools during the 2027 fiscal year. It required the Secretary of State to fund eligible public school districts (via applications detailing their voter education plans) to share registration resources, with schools collaborating with local election officials and political parties. The bill mandated reports from schools to the Secretary of State and from the Secretary to the legislature, along with legislative funding approval. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
