Mississippi

From Judgepedia

Unlike the federal government, but like many other U.S. States, most of the heads of major executive departments in Mississippi are elected by the citizens rather than appointed by the governor.

Mississippi is one of only five states that elects its state officials in odd numbered years (The others are Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Virginia).
