MS HB208

Requires candidates for county board of education to declare their political party affiliation on nomination petitions and ballots.

Changes election requirement from plurality (highest number of votes) to majority (more than 50%) for candidates to be elected in supervisors districts and county-at-large positions.

Establishes runoff elections three weeks after the general election if no candidate receives a majority, with the top two vote-getters competing in the runoff.

Maintains existing petition requirements: nominations must be signed by at least 50 qualified electors per supervisors district (or 20% if fewer than 100 electors exist in the district).

Requires Mississippi Attorney General to submit the act to the U.S. Attorney General or U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for Voting Rights Act compliance review before implementation.
