Flag Design Selection - 09/02/2020

The Mississippi flag selection is in order to be on the ballot during the November General Election.

May the best flag win.

Good evening.

We'll get to the presidential race in just a moment.

But first at five.

Mississippians now know the flag that will be on the ballot this november.

The people chosen to select a new flag design did not go with the shield or "great river flag."

Instead, they chose "the new magnolia" flag.

It has red bars on each side and a blue background behind a magnolia in the center.

The flag will appear on the ballot during the november general election.

If a majority of mississippians vote for the new design, it will become the new state flag.

If not, the design process starts over.
