Proposed amendment to the Mississippi Constitution to establish a ten-day early voting period before each election.

The bill proposes an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution to establish a ten-day early voting period before each primary, general, runoff, special, and municipal election. This period would end at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday before the election day. Qualified electors would vote in the office of the appropriate registrar, and the registrar may provide additional early voting locations. The amendment also includes provisions for informing the public about early voting, maintaining election records, and ensuring that early voting ballots are counted simultaneously with election day votes.
