MS SC531

Post-ratifies the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which establishes the federal voting age at 18 years old.

The 26th Amendment was originally proposed by Congress on March 10-23, 1971, and officially ratified by the required number of states on July 1, 1971.

Mississippi's post-ratification is a ceremonial action taken decades after the amendment already became part of the Constitution, following the common practice of states continuing to ratify amendments after they achieve sufficient support.

Directs the Mississippi Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of this resolution to the U.S. Archivist, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Mississippi's congressional delegation with a request to publish it in the Congressional Record.
