AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to require candidates running for public office to provide a physical address of their residence, rather than a post office box number, when they qualify to run. This change is intended to ensure that candidates have a verifiable physical address within the jurisdiction they seek to represent, enhancing transparency and accountability in the electoral process. The bill specifies that election commissions will now be responsible for verifying this physical address as part of the candidate qualification process.
