HB447

Mississippi HB447 authorizes early voting for all primary, general, runoff, special, and municipal elections for public office.

Mississippi HB447 amends the Mississippi Code of 1972 to establish the Early Voting Act. It allows any qualified elector to vote during the early voting period, which begins ten days before the election and ends at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday before the election. The bill specifies that early voting is available for all types of elections, including primary, general, runoff, special, and municipal elections. It also outlines procedures for absentee voting, including the requirements for absentee ballot applications and the handling of such ballots.
