Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Sections 23-15-653, 23-15-637 And 23-15-715, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require The Registrar's Office To Remain Open Until 5:00 P.m. On The Two Saturdays Immediately Preceding The Election For Absentee Voting; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the hours for absentee voting on the two Saturdays immediately preceding an election in Mississippi. Previously, registrar's offices were required to be open until noon on these Saturdays, but this legislation changes that deadline to 5:00 p.m., allowing voters more time to cast their absentee ballots in person. The bill amends existing Mississippi Code sections related to absentee voting procedures, ensuring that the registrar's office remains open until 5:00 p.m. on those specific Saturdays for individuals who appear in person to vote absentee.
