Mississippi Legislature Must Hold Legislative Elections in November 2025

Mississippi will elect its entire legislature in November 2025, even though all state legislators were also up for re-election in November 2023 and Mississippi provides for four-year terms for all its legislators, in both houses. On July 18, 2024, a 3-judge U.S. District Court issued a ruling in Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP v State Board of Election Commissioners, 3:22cv-734, s.d. The panel had already ruled on July 2 that the districts violate the federal Voting Rights Act. The July 18 ruling says the legislature need not redraw the districts immediately and need not hold legislative elections this year.
