The 2025 Mississippi House of Representatives special election will be held on November 4, 2025, to elect 5 of 122 members of the Mississippi House of Representatives. Special elections were called in 5 districts due to court-ordered redistricting, in addition a special election will be held on April 22 to fill a vacancy in two district. Primary elections will be held on August 5 and, if needed, runoff elections will be held on December 2. [1] [2]
The election was called after court-ordered redistricting caused the state House map to be redrawn, as it was found to diminish the voting power of the state's African American population. The new map creates one new majority black district in Chickasaw County. [3]
