§ Miss. Code § 23-15-897(untitled)

Requirement of candidate's subscription of printed campaign material;
observance of federal provisions with respect to radio and television time; payment for
printed matter and for broadcast time at usual rates.
No person shall write, print, post or distribute or cause to be distributed, a notice, placard, bill,
poster, dodger, pamphlet, advertisement or any other form of publication (except notices,
posters, and the like, which simply announce speaking date and invite attendance thereon) which
is designed to influence voters for or against any candidate at any election, unless and until the
same shall have been submitted to, and approved and subscribed by the candidate or by his
campaign manager or assistant manager, which subscription shall in all cases be printed as so
subscribed, and not otherwise. As, for instance, it shall be unlawful to write, print, post,
distribute or cause to be written, printed, posted or distributed any such matter when the
authority therefor is designated simply as "paid political advertisement," or "contributed by a
friend," or "contributed by the friends and supporters," and the like. Nor shall any radio or
television station allow any time or place on any of its programs for any address for or against
any candidate at any election, except in accordance with the provisions of the federal statutes and
the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission as applied to the use of
radio and television facilities by a candidate or candidates for office. But the aforesaid written or
printed matter and the time for radio and television addresses shall be paid for at the usual and
ordinary rates, and only by a person authorized to make expenditures in behalf of the candidate,
as is provided in this chapter in regard to other expenditures.
For a violation or violations of this section, the offender may be proceeded against as
provided in Section 23-15-875.
