Municipal Election Commission

The Municipal Election Commission is charged with insuring that all municipal elections are conducted in adherence to Chapter 15, Article 1 of the Mississippi Code, known as the “Mississippi Election Code.” Section 23-15-221 specifies that in cities, like Laurel, with populations of less than twenty thousand, three Election Commissioners are to be appointed.

Municipal Election Commissioners must be appointed and confirmed by each duly sworn in administration and council.
