2007 Mississippi elections

A general election was held in Mississippi on November 6, 2007, to elect to four-year terms for all members of the Mississippi State Legislature (122 representatives, 52 senators), the offices of Governor of Mississippi, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Auditor, State Treasurer, Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce, and Commissioner of Insurance, plus all three members of the Mississippi Transportation Commission and Mississippi Public Service Commission.

The state legislature draws up separate district maps for the Mississippi House of Representatives and the Mississippi Senate, usually after the federal U.S. Census.

According to the state constitution, a statewide officer must win both the majority of electoral votes and the majority of the popular vote to be elected.
