Primary elections; change date to June.
SB 2091 would move Mississippi's primary election date for statewide, legislative, county, and county district offices from its current timing to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June. It amends Mississippi Code sections 23-15-191 (governing primaries) and 21-9-17 (governing municipal elections) to implement this change, requiring primaries to be held no later than 160 days before general elections. The bill was introduced in 2026 but died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not advance to become law.
