     Re Unofficial Results--First Congressional Special Runoff 
         Election

     Karen L. Haas,
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas, Per your request, enclosed please find a 
     copy of unofficial results for the Special Runoff Election 
     held on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, for Representative in Congress 
     from the First Congressional District of Mississippi. To the 
     best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there is no 
     challenge to this election. The State of Mississippi does not 
     require nor receive ``unofficial results'' from all counties 
     and, at this time, we have only received unofficial results 
     from four (4) counties. The attached numbers were obtained 
     through The Daily Journal, Tupelo, Mississippi. The outcome 
     of the election does not appear in doubt and we anticipate 
     Mr. Trent Kelly will be certified.
       The deadline for counties included in the First 
     Congressional District to transmit certified election results 
     to our office is 5:00 p.m. on June 12, 2015. As soon as the 
     official results are certified to this office by all counties 
     involved, an official Certificate of Election will be 
     prepared for transmittal as required by law.
       If you have any questions or need additional information, 
     please call Kim Turner, Assistant Secretary of State at (601) 
     359-5137 or Amanda Frusha, Director of Elections Compliance 
     at (601) 359-5213.
           Sincerely,
                                         C. Delbert Hosemann, Jr.,
     Mississippi Secretary of State.
