§ Miss. Code § 23-15-285(untitled)

Entry of boundaries and alterations thereto on minutes of board of
supervisors; limit on number of voters within each precinct or ballot box.
The board of supervisors shall cause an entry to be made on the minutes of the board at some
meeting, as early as convenient, defining the boundaries of the several supervisors districts and
voting precincts in the county, and designating the voting place in each voting precinct; and as
soon as practicable after any alteration shall have been made in any supervisors district or voting
precinct, or any voting place changed, shall cause such alteration or change to be entered on the
minutes of the board in such manner as to be easily understood; provided, however, that no
voting precinct shall have more than five hundred (500) qualified electors residing in its
boundaries and the board of supervisors of the various counties of this state shall as soon as
practical after the effective date of this section, alter or change the boundaries of the various
voting precincts to comply herewith and shall from time to time make such alterations or
changes in the boundaries of voting precincts so that there shall never be more than five hundred
(500) qualified electors within the boundaries of the various voting precincts of this state;
provided further, this limitation shall not apply wherein voting precincts are so divided,
alphabetically or otherwise, so as to have less than five hundred (500) qualified electors in any
one (1) box within a voting precinct; provided, however, that the limitation of five hundred (500)
qualified electors to the voting precinct shall not apply wherein voting machines are used at all
elections held in any voting precinct; but no alteration of any supervisor's district or voting
precinct shall take effect within two (2) months before an election to be held in the district or
voting precinct. Provided, however, that, with the exception of county lines and municipal
corporate limits, such altered boundaries shall conform to visible natural or artificial boundaries
such as streets, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, bayous or other obvious lines of demarcation.
