2025 MUNICIPAL PRIMARY RUNOFF ELECTION
Mississippi's 2025 Municipal Primary Runoff Election, held on April 22, featured runoff races in 28 cities across the state. Despite efforts to promote participation and voter engagement in our municipal elections, turnout was unfortunately low.
I challenge each of you to continue encouraging your family, friends, and neighbors to engage in the elections process and show up to the polls, regardless of the races on the ballot. As registered voters in Mississippi, we can ensure our voices will be heard by casting ballots in all federal, state, and local races.
Our next Election Day is the Municipal General Election on June 3. The deadline to register to vote in the June 3 election is May 5. Municipal elections can impact our everyday lives much more quickly than any other election. We need an engaged electorate now more than ever.
I encourage you to stay up to date on important election dates and deadlines on YallVote.ms. Additionally, follow our Elections 101 campaign on Facebook, X, or Instagram.
Should you have any questions, I encourage you to reach out to our Elections Division at 1-800-829-6786, ElectionsAnswers@sos.ms.gov, or visit YallVote.ms. Our office remains your trusted source for election information.
