SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches for the 2024 Presidential Election in Mississippi, voters must bring a driver’s license and avoid wearing any campaign materials inside polling places.

Campaigning is allowed outside the polls but must be at least 150 feet away. Voters can take photos outside the precinct but should not reveal their ballots to avoid influencing others.
