County removal petitions; standardize signature requirements for all county offices to 30%.
SB 2054 would standardize removal petition requirements for three county offices in Mississippi, requiring petitions to collect signatures from at least 30% of qualified electors in the relevant district. It directly affects county supervisors, justice court judges, and constables by replacing varying existing signature thresholds with a uniform 30% requirement for removal petitions. The bill specifies that petitions must include a concise statement of grounds (under 200 words) for the removal demand. This is a procedural change to election rules, not a substantive policy shift, and would have taken effect July 1, 2026, though it died in committee in February 2026.
