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. Key information includes the opening of absentee voting, allowing early ballot casting for those unable to vote on Election Day. Voters must register by Oct. 7 to participate. Currently, about 85% of eligible Mississippians are registered, totaling 1.9 million voters. Watson emphasizes absentee voting options for those with time constraints and directs residents to resources like yallvote.ms and myelectionday.com for registration and ballot details.
