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.
