Field set for court-ordered special legislative elections as a result of redistricting
Qualifying ended Monday for the court-ordered special legislative elections resulting from this year’s redistricting.
A federal three-judge panel mandated new legislative district boundaries be drawn to increase majority minority districts in areas in North Mississippi and the Pine Belt. This affected more than a dozen legislative districts.
Four seats will be unopposed in the special elections: Senate District 34 with Senator Juan Barnett (D), Senate District 41 with Senator Joey Fillingane (R), House District 36 with Rep. Karl Gibbs (D), and House District 39 with Rep. Dana McLean (R).
Three races will be decided in the August 5 Primary Elections while the other seven will be determined in the November 4 General Election.
