Lauderdale County Circuit Clerk Donna Jill Johnson emphasized the importance of both absentee and in-person voting as civic duties. Many voters, including 18-wheeler drivers and medical professionals in Meridian and Lauderdale County, often request absentee ballots due to uncertain work schedules. Johnson highlighted that while absentee voting is necessary for some, nothing compares to voting in person at precincts. The circuit clerk’s office remains open from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays for voter assistance.
