Bill > HB909

This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow county and municipal executive committees, which are political party organizations responsible for managing elections at the local level, to enter into written agreements with their respective circuit or municipal clerks or election commissions. These agreements would authorize the clerks or election commissions to perform all duties typically handled by the executive committees. The bill specifies that if an executive committee chooses to enter into such an agreement, the clerk or election commission *must* enter into it, removing any discretion they might have had to refuse. This change aims to streamline election administration by potentially consolidating responsibilities.
