Mississippi HB21 revises municipal election commissioner appointments and mandates training.

Mississippi HB21 revises the process for appointing municipal election commissioners, specifying the number of commissioners based on municipal population. It mandates that commissioners submit a letter to the Secretary of State accepting their appointment. The bill also requires municipal election commissioners to attend a training seminar and complete a skills assessment every four years. It amends existing sections of the Mississippi Code to reflect these changes and ensures that municipalities can continue to operate under their current election commission structures if they choose.
