SUMMARY: Mississippi has scheduled a Special General Election on April

Congressional District formerly held by Senator Roger Wicker. Under
Mississippi law, a majority winner in a nonpartisan special election is

Committees participating in the Mississippi special elections are
required to file pre- and post-election reports. Filing dates for these
reports are affected by whether one or two elections are held.
