Mississippi candidate resources

Pick your county to see what running for office takes.

A plain-language guide to getting on the ballot in every Mississippi county. Mississippi elects its county offices in odd years, so the next county cycle is 2027: qualifying closes at 5 p.m. on February 1, 2027, and the fee is a flat amount set by office. Each guide covers the deadline, the fee, and your county Circuit Clerk's contact card. Click the map or use the list.
