Mississippi HC24 would limit members of the Legislature to three terms if first elected after January 1, 2027.

Mississippi HC24 proposes amendments to the Mississippi Constitution to limit the eligibility of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Specifically, it states that any person elected for the first time on or after January 1, 2027, is ineligible to serve again after completing three full terms. This amendment does not apply to partial terms served by members filling vacancies. The proposed changes will be submitted to voters in the November 2026 election.
