SB 2089 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

State holidays; designate days of general elections for statewide offices as.

SB 2089 would amend Mississippi's state holiday code to designate U.S. Presidential Election Day, General State Election Day, and days when Mississippi's U.S. Senate seats are on the ballot as official legal holidays for state government operations. This means state offices would close on these election days, starting in 2027 for state elections and 2028 for presidential elections, with the next Monday becoming the holiday if it falls on a Sunday. The bill directly affects state employees and government services by requiring closures on these specific election dates. It does not change voting procedures or affect private businesses.
