City of Pascagoula provides Ward 3 election process update

The City of Pascagoula shares an update on the Ward 3 city council election process.

The city obtained guidance from the Secretary of State’s Office for the procedure for the election for the Ward 3 City Council seat. 

Councilman Walker was the sole candidate in the Republican primary and the general election. Because he passed away after ballots were printed but before the primary election, the primary election will be determined by write-in votes.  

The qualified candidate receiving the most write-in votes will win the primary election, and there will be no general election.  

After the primary ballots are received, the write-in submissions will be tallied and assessed for qualifications.  

As a result, there will be a delay in announcing the results of the Ward 3 primary election.
