Will Mississippi ever get early voting? This state senator is pushing for it
SUMMARY: Following Mississippi’s recent election, there is growing interest in expanding early voting options. Currently, Mississippi is one of only three states that require an excuse for absentee voting. Many voters support early voting, citing convenience for busy schedules and medical conditions. State Senator Jeremy England, who introduced early voting legislation last year, aims to bring it up again. His bill would allow in-person early voting with a valid photo ID, ensuring a secure process and timely results. While absentee ballots are still being counted, early voting could streamline the process and provide quicker election results.
