Mississippi HB453 requires the Secretary of State to provide a secure portal on his website for voters to check if their affidavit ballots were.

Mississippi HB453 amends the Mississippi Code to require the Secretary of State to offer a secure portal on his official website for voters who cast affidavit ballots. This portal allows voters to enter a secure personal identification number to determine if their ballot was counted and, if not, the reasons for non-counting. The Secretary of State must make this information available within thirty days of the election. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of State establish a uniform affidavit ballot envelope for use in all state elections.
