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. Lowndes County Circuit Clerk Teresa Barksdale emphasized that clothing promoting candidates or political messages is prohibited, and violators may be asked to leave. 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. Poll workers must also remain neutral, and voters can cast their ballots from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on November 5.
