Applications for absentee ballots are now available in Mississippi for the November 5 general election.
Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson reports that the applications can be found in county clerk’s offices statewide. Absentee ballots will be made available beginning September 23.
Those looking to vote absentee this year are encouraged to utilize the Secretary of State’s Y’all Vote website, which includes answers to frequently asked questions about absentee voting and a step-by-step guide to absentee voting.
A voter seeking their eligibility status to vote absentee can also contact their local county circuit clerk. If eligible, ballots will be provided upon request by the circuit clerk’s office.
Contact information for county circuit clerks statewide is available through the My Election Day portal. Additionally, Mississippians who cast an absentee ballot may track their ballot.
To vote in November, whether in-person or absentee, all Mississippians must complete voter registration by October 7. All mail-in voter registrations must be postmarked by October 7 as well.
