The process to establish a new political party in Mississippi is among the simplest in the nation. Mississippi does not require aspirant parties to submit petitions, pay fees, or win a minimum number of votes to maintain recognized status.

The chairman of the state executive committee of a political party must submit an application for registration of the political party to the secretary of state within 30 days of party organization in order to be recognized. The registration must designate the name of the political party and the names of all organizations officially sanctioned by the party. No political party is permitted to use or register a name that is the same as or "deceptively similar to" the name of a political body or officially sanctioned organization that has already registered with the secretary of state.

The application for registration must be accompanied by an affidavit that includes the following information:[8]

names of the members of the state executive committee
names of the chairman and secretary of the committee
names of national committeeman and committeewoman
names of officers
a statement verifying that the executive committee and all officers were elected in accordance with the provisions of Section 23-15-1053 of the Mississippi Code.
According to Section 23-15-1053 of the Mississippi Code, the state executive committee of each political party may determine the method and procedures by which state executive committee and county executive committee members are selected, provided that these methods and procedures are in accordance with applicable federal laws and national party rules. The state executive committee of a party must establish these procedures at least 90 days prior to their implementation. A copy of any rule or regulation adopted by the state executive committee must be submitted to the secretary of state within seven days after its adoption. These rules and regulations are a matter of public record.

As of May 2017, there were 10 officially recognized political parties in Mississippi.
