What is on the Mississippi ballot in the 2026 midterms?
The Mississippi Secretary of State’s candidate qualifying list includes “Candidates for United States Senate,” with the lines “Primary Election: March 10, 2026” and “General Election: November 3, 2026,” and “Candidates for United States House of Representatives” with a district column. That page says the list reflects qualifying papers and that the State Board of Election Commissioners determines whether each candidate meets the qualifications before the name is placed on the general-election ballot. No governor heading appears on the list read October 19, 2026. The U.S. Senate Class II page, read the same day, includes Mississippi among seats whose terms expire in 2027. The qualifying list does not mention a ballot measure. The initiatives catalog does not say that any measure has qualified for the November 3, 2026 ballot.
