SUMMARY: Hinds County is preparing for the upcoming November 5th general election by ensuring sufficient ballot supply to avoid previous shortages. The election commission has ordered enough ballots for every registered voter amid long lines for absentee voting, with over 8,700 ballots already cast. Voters, particularly the elderly, are actively participating, driven mainly by concerns over the economy. Rankin County has reported significant absentee voting as well, particularly among those with valid excuses. The staff is making final preparations, including clear signage for polling locations due to precinct changes, as they gear up for a smooth election process.
