Bill > HC13

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to establish a mandatory early voting period for all primary, general, runoff, special, and municipal elections. This early voting period would begin ten days before election day and continue until 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday immediately preceding the election. The resolution defines "election" to include this early voting period and outlines that voters can cast their ballots either on election day at their assigned precinct, during the early voting period at the registrar's office or an alternate secure location, or by mail-in absentee ballot. It also specifies requirements for the number of early voting locations based on registered voters, notice provisions, and the application of existing election laws to early voting procedures, ensuring that votes cast early are final and counted simultaneously with election day votes.
