Bill > HB1584

This bill mandates that Mississippi's primary elections be held on "Super Tuesday," a nationally recognized date when many states conduct their presidential primary elections, instead of the current August date, and specifies that if multiple Super Tuesdays exist in a year, Mississippi will hold its primary on the earliest one, with the Secretary of State responsible for certifying the exact date; the bill also reiterates existing rules for determining party nominees through a first and second primary if no candidate receives a majority in the first, and includes a provision that ensures different political parties' primaries are conducted independently but simultaneously, with the changes taking effect on July 1, 2026.
