Election results; require Secretary of State to develop centralized, statewide election night reporting system.

Summary

The bill would have Mississippi’s Secretary of State build and operate a centralized online system that posts election results as they are reported on election night. County election officials would be required to send an initial results report within one hour of polls closing and update the system every thirty minutes until all votes are counted, with a $150 stipend for the reporting official. The measure was intended to increase transparency but did not pass.
