Secretary of state encouraging voters to not only register, but to show up on election day
SUMMARY: Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson is encouraging residents to register and vote as the Nov. 5 general election approaches.

Currently, about 85% of eligible Mississippians are registered, totaling 1.9 million voters.
