Absentee voting picks up as election day draws near
SUMMARY: The Lee County Circuit Clerk’s office in Tupelo, Mississippi, is providing tips to facilitate absentee voting, which started in September and has seen a surge in activity. Camille Roberts Dulaney advises that voters must sign an affidavit to vote absentee and bring a photo ID. Absentee ballots are secured until election night for counting. Voters may need to wait between 45 minutes to an hour at the office. It’s crucial for voters to update their registration if they have changed addresses, and more information can be found at the Mississippi Secretary of State‘s website.

Pickens Co. loses one of its two ambulances
SUMMARY: Emergency healthcare in Pickens County, Alabama, has faced serious challenges since the local hospital closed in March 2020, leading to delayed medical help and even patient deaths. Despite establishing a 24-hour ambulance service and a 16-hour emergency service, the county’s situation worsened with the recent decision to operate only one 24-hour ambulance starting October 25. This change, attributed to funding issues, has raised concerns among local leaders about increased response times and reliance on neighboring counties for assistance. Mayor Mickey Walker suggests potential funding solutions, including a public vote on adding fees to car tags, to improve the situation.
