Requires Mississippi elected officials to be natural born citizens of the United States.

This bill proposes constitutional amendments to the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, requiring that all elected officials, including the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state auditor, state treasurer, public service commissioners, and judges, must be natural born citizens of the United States. The amendments also specify additional qualifications for these officials, such as age and residency requirements. The proposed changes will be submitted to the qualified electors for a vote in November 2026.
