Bill Summary
An Act To Provide That The Office Of Election Commissioner Shall Be A Nonpartisan Office; To Provide That The Names Of Candidates For The Office Of Election Commissioner Shall Be Listed As Nonpartisan On A Ballot; To Amend Sections 23-15-213, 23-15-367 And 23-15-511, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Conform To The Provisions Of This Act; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill makes the office of election commissioner a nonpartisan position, meaning candidates for this role cannot campaign or qualify based on their political party affiliation. Consequently, the names of candidates for election commissioner will be listed together on a separate part of the ballot, clearly marked as nonpartisan, and will appear in alphabetical order without any party designations. The bill also amends existing Mississippi Code sections to align with these changes, specifically removing the requirement for candidates to declare their party affiliation and for that affiliation to be shown on the ballot for election commissioners.
