JR 201 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Legislative redistricting; provide contingent Senate District plan in the event US Supreme Court rules in Louisiana case.

This Mississippi joint resolution provides a backup plan for Senate district lines if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against the state's current redistricting plan in a pending voting rights case. If such a ruling occurs, the resolution would replace the 2025 Senate district map with the 2022 version, which includes two new districts designed to address Voting Rights Act concerns. The bill directly affects Mississippi voters by determining which legislative districts they belong to and which candidates they can elect. It does not change any districts at this time but establishes a contingency plan for future court decisions.
