SB 2591 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Party primaries; close to only registered voters affiliated with a political party.

SB 2591 would require that only voters registered with a specific political party can vote in that party's primary election. Unaffiliated voters (those not registered with any party) would be allowed to vote only in nonpartisan elections held on the same day as a party primary. The bill establishes a uniform statewide voter registration form to designate party affiliation and sets a 30-day deadline for updating this information before an election. It also specifies that voting in a primary for a party you are not registered with would constitute vote fraud under Mississippi law.
