Municipal annexation in Mississippi requires an election in both the municipality and the proposed annexed territory.
This bill amends Mississippi law to require an election on municipal annexation in both the municipality and the proposed annexed territory. If 20% of qualified electors petition for an election, separate elections must be held. If a majority in both elections vote against the ordinance, it will not be approved. If approved, the ordinance becomes effective ten days after the final election results. The bill also outlines procedures for contracting municipal boundaries and appeals related to these decisions.
