Statewide Primary Elections; provide for closed primaries beginning in 2027.

SB 2592 (Mississippi) would establish closed primaries in the state, requiring voters to be registered with a political party to vote in that party's primary election starting in 2027. It mandates that unaffiliated voters can only participate in nonpartisan elections held alongside party primaries. The bill creates a uniform voter registration form to designate party affiliation, requires voters to update their registration by October 1, 2027, and prohibits voting in a primary for a party different from their registered affiliation (classified as vote fraud). This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
