Special election set after two illegal votes in Pearl River County tax assessor race
SUMMARY: A special election has been scheduled for April in Pearl River County following the discovery of two illegal votes in the recent tax assessor and collector race. Governor Tate Reeves announced the election date after court documents revealed that illegal votes affected the runoff results between Sandy Cain Smith and Joe Lynn Houston. The runoff was originally decided by just three votes in Picayune’s south side precincts. Due to the narrow margin and the invalid ballots, voters in two precincts will return to the polls to ensure a fair and accurate outcome for the county tax assessor and collector position.
The special election for the Tax Collector/Assessor in Pearl River County will also be held on November 4, 2025.
