Qualifying to run for public office; prohibit use of post office box and require physical address of residence.
SB 2347 requires candidates for public office in Mississippi to provide a physical residence address instead of a post office box when filing to run. This applies to all candidates seeking state or local office (except certain judicial positions and municipal elections) as part of their qualification documents. The bill amends filing requirements to mandate a verifiable physical address for residency, replacing the previous allowance of PO box numbers. It directly affects candidates who must submit this address when filing petitions or statements with election officials.
