§ Miss. Code § 23-15-271Election integrity assurance committee

(1) The state executive committee of any political party authorized to conduct political party
primaries shall form an election integrity assurance committee for each congressional district.
The state executive committee shall appoint three (3) of its members to each congressional
district election integrity assurance committee. The members so appointed shall be residents of
the congressional district for which the election integrity assurance committee is formed. The
state executive committee shall name a chairman and a secretary from among the members of
each committee. The state executive committee shall provide to each circuit and municipal clerk
a list of the members of the congressional district integrity assurance committee for the
congressional district in which the county or municipality of such clerk is located.
(2) If a county executive committee or a municipal executive committee fails to perform in a
timely manner any of the duties specified in Sections 23-15-239, 23-15-265, 23-15-267, 23-15333, 23-15-335 and 23-15-597 and there is no written agreement in place between the county or
municipal executive committee and the county or municipal election commission or the circuit or
municipal clerk pursuant to such sections, or there is such an agreement in place and it is not
being executed, the circuit or municipal clerk may notify the chairman and secretary of the
congressional district election integrity assurance committee or the chairman of the state
executive committee of such failure and call upon them to take immediate and appropriate action
to insure that such duties are performed in order to secure the orderly conduct of the primary.
Such notification may occur on the last day by which the duties are required to be performed or
at such time as the circuit or municipal clerk believes such notification is necessary for the
orderly administration of the primary.
(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the state executive committee or a
congressional district election assurance committee to conduct primaries.
