Mississippi voters could cast ballots in person for 15 days prior to an election, including the Saturday before, under a Senate bill.
Early voting bill advances in Mississippi Senate by Geoff Pender, Mississippi Today March 5, 2024 A Senate committee on Tuesday advanced a measure that would allow Mississippi voters to cast ballots — in person — for 15 days prior to an election, including the Saturday before. "Mississippi is one of only three states that doesn't allow early voting," said Senate Elections Chairman Jeremy England, a Republican from Vancleave and author of SB2580."...
Voters using the new early system would have to cast their ballots at their circuit clerk's office, England said, and provide a valid voter ID as they must now do on Election Day. England said early voting would include a half-day on the Saturday before a primary or election. Sen. Hob Bryan said having to go to the clerk's office could be a problem for some people who live a long distance from their county seat and that more places should be made available for the early voting.
