Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Candidates from the Mississippi SOS statewide composite sample ballot for November 3, 2026 (PDF dated 9-9-26; re-fetched 2026-10-31, byte-identical to the copy read 2026-10-29). Ballot labels 'Democrat'; partyShort normalised to Democratic. Write-ins skipped; primary losers excluded. The SOS candidate qualifying list page was not re-read this run.
- Districts: Census geocoder (2026 legislative and 120th Congress layers). City Hall (300 Monroe St; -90.3294, 32.3392) = Clinton city / Hinds County / CD-2 / SD-27 / HD-56. Sampled points in the city: (-90.29, 32.35) CD-2, SD-27, HD-70; (-90.38, 32.33) CD-2, SD-27, HD-63 (Stephanie Foster, D). No polygon overlay; other districts may touch the city.
- State legislators from billstatus.ls.state.ms.us member XML (robots.txt 404), retrieved 2026-10-31; Senate emails as printed on the Senate roster PDF (senate.ms.gov addresses). HD-70 has no member record (vacant; special election on the November ballot).
- Municipal: Mayor + Alderman-at-Large + six ward aldermen, sworn in July 1, 2025 for the 2025-2029 term, per the City news post of July 3, 2025 (clintonms.org; robots allows). Cross-checked with the City dept-directory page titles (three pages updated 2025-07-17) and the City preliminary results post of June 3, 2025. Mississippi municipal elections are partisan primaries, but no party is printed on these City pages, so party is null. Next regular municipal election: 2029 (four-year term, from the 2025-2029 term stated by the City).
- Phones are printed on the City directory pages and the Legislature records; none copied. No campaign sites or official emails captured for municipal officials. standsFor null for everyone. Ballotpedia, Wikipedia and news were not used.
