Flag Decision

The Mississippi Flag Commission selects the final design going to the ballot.

Happening today...the mississippi flag commission selects the final design going to ballot.

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.
