The 2026 primaries were held March 10, with April 7 set aside for runoffs; the general election is November 3.
Why is the 2026 Mississippi US Senate race important?
Mississippi does not elect a governor in 2026.

In 2026, the state's most consequential statewide contest is the US Senate race between incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democrat Scott Colom.
