MS Require Presidential Candidates to Pay Fee or Collect Signatures


Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.

Earlier this year, the Mississippi Legislature passed SB 2167. It requires General Election Presidential candidates to:

- Pay a fee of $2,500, whether independent or the nominees of Qualified Parties.

- Presidential nominees of Qualified Parties can avoid the fee if they submit 1,000 signatures.

The bill passed the Senate 43-7 and passed the House 93-25.

The bill was signed into law April 6, 2016, and took effect July 1, 2016.
