The commission will present its final selection to the state Legislature Sept. 2, and Mississippi voters will vote to accept or reject the design on the Nov. 3 ballot. If voters reject the design, the commission will begin the process over and present a new design in 2021.

We will provide a link to the designs online as soon as it’s posted.
