Following a ruling that Mississippi’s Supreme Court electoral map violates the Voting Rights Act, a judge has ordered special elections. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock gave the state legislature until the end of its 2026 session to redraw the map, enacted in 1987, which was found to diminish Black voters’ power. The special elections will occur in November 2026 once the new map is approved, with the specific seats subject to election determined afterward. The order stems from a 2022 lawsuit, and the state is appealing the initial ruling, with proceedings stayed pending Supreme Court decisions.
