State holidays; designate days of general elections for statewide offices as.
This bill would designate U.S. presidential election days, general state election days, and U.S. Senate election days as legal holidays in Mississippi. It would require state government offices to close on these specific election dates, affecting state employees and operations. The bill proposes adding these election days to Mississippi's official holiday list, occurring every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This policy change would apply to all state government functions on the designated election days, starting in 2027 for state elections and 2028 for presidential elections.
