Do you need an absentee ballot? To verify eligibility for absentee voting, Mississippians may utilize the Secretary of State's Y'all Vote website, which includes an Absentee Voting FAQ and Step-by-Step Guide to Absentee Voting, or contact their county Circuit Clerk. If eligible, ballots will be provided upon request by your Circuit Clerk. But there are lots of reasons you can vote early by absentee voting.

We know how creative Mississippians are. The Sectary of State’s office has an artwork submission competition to design the next “I Voted” sticker.
