STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
REGARDING MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
NATCHEZ, Mississippi – Mayor Grennell, City Attorney Bob Latham,
and other local leaders are working with the Governor’s Office, the
Secretary of State, the Attorney General’s Office and the local
Election Commission to delay the City’s municipal election cycle,
which begins with the April 7 primary, followed by the April 28
runoff, and the June 2 general election.
Mayor Grennell has spoken with several local candidates who are
voluntarily suspending their campaigns in response to the
coronavirus pandemic.
“At this time of emergency, our local election is not really on the
radar screen at the state level. This is because of our special charter
and the fact that we are on a different election cycle from the rest of
the municipalities. Only a few Mississippi municipalities have local
elections this spring.”
The Mayors office will provide updates as soon as more informaitojn
becomes available.
