Initiative process availability[edit]
- See also: Laws governing local ballot measures in Mississippi
Initiative is available for amendments to code and private charters under Mississippi Code Section 21-17-11 and 13. A private charter may vary from the statute requirements.
State law does not grant initiative for ordinances, and municipalities do not appear to have authority to adopt initiative for ordinances on their own.[2][3]
The 20 cities with private charters are:
Port Gibson, Rosedale, Okolona, Water Valley, Fulton, Carthage, Aberdeen, Louisville, Waveland, Indianola, West Point, Yazoo City, McComb, Corinth, Grenada, Natchez, Horn Lake, Columbus, Vicksburg, and Greenville.
The remaining cities operate under a code charter.[2][3]
