Municipalities annexation; provide that an election be held on the question of.

HB 781 requires municipalities in Mississippi to hold separate elections in both the city and the territory proposed for annexation whenever a city seeks to expand its boundaries. The bill mandates that annexation can only proceed if a majority of voters in *both* areas approve the measure, replacing previous court-based processes. It also prohibits municipalities from proposing the same annexation for five years if either election rejects the plan. This directly affects cities seeking to grow and residents in unincorporated areas targeted for annexation, shifting decision-making from chancery courts to voter approval.
