One of the best websites in the state belongs to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office. Among other information, It has all the voting details, dates, and facts you could need. But, some folks can’t get to a website so we’re talking about what you need to know to vote next month in our elections with Mississippi’s Secretary of State himself, Michael Watson.

An application for voter registration must be postmarked or hand delivered to the Circuit Clerk’s Office located in the county of your voting residence no later than 30 days before an election. That’s Monday, October 7th this year. Online you can verify your voter registration and update your voter registration information from the sos.ms.gov website. 

Let’s assume you are registered to vote, but you’d like to vote absentee early. IF you’re sixty-five (65) years of age or older you can either vote in person or by mail absentee before November 5th. Under Mississippi law, there are many categories of people who are entitled to vote by in-person absentee or entitled to vote absentee by mail-in ballot. . Your County Circuit Clerk, is responsible for absentee voting and providing absentee ballots. Please contact your County Circuit Clerk to see if you are entitled to vote under Mississippi’s absentee voting laws.

November 5th is our next election day. That night, after the polls close at 7pm, MPB Think Radio and mpbonline.org will have coverage of the results.
