ADD TO CALENDAR

Mississippi is among the minority of states that do not allow no excuse early voting.

To vote early in Mississippi, a person must be away from home on election day, over age 65 or must have a permanent or temporary disability. During 2020, a person can vote early if under physician-imposed quarantine because of COVID-19 or taking care of someone under a physician-imposed quarantine.

*Lawsuits are currently ongoing over exactly who can vote early under the coronavirus exception.

Absentee voting, in person or by mail, begins today, Sept. 21, in Mississippi.

The absentee ballot became available today, Sept. 21, at the local circuit clerk’s offices. The local circuit clerks also take absentee or early voting requests.

People voting early in person can do so at the local circuit clerks’ offices. People voting early by mail can obtain a ballot request by contacting the local circuit clerks.

The ballot application must be filled out and notarized. When returned, if eligible, the person will then receive a ballot. The ballot also must be notarized under state law.

The mail ballots must be postmarked by the day of the election and must arrive in the circuit clerk’s office no more than five days after the election.
