NATCHEZ — Saturday is the last day to register to vote for the Nov. 8 general election.

The Adams County Circuit Clerk’s Office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and will also be open from 8 a.m. until noon Saturday for voter registration.

The Nov. 8 election will include the presidential election.

Residents who have lived in Adams County for at least 30 days are eligible to register to vote, Circuit Clerk Eddie Walker said.

Residents registering to vote for the first time need to bring proof of residency, such as a utility bill, with them to register.

A driver’s license number, the last four digits of a resident’s Social Security number or a government-issued identification card is needed to register.

Walker said circuit clerk staff does not need to see an ID, just write down the information on a resident’s voter registration form.

Residents who are currently 17 but will be 18 on or before Nov. 8 can register to vote now and vote in the election.

A voter registration application can also be found online at sos.ms.gov.

You may not register to vote if you have been convicted in a Mississippi state court of voter fraud, murder, rape, bribery, theft, arson, obtaining money or goods under false pretense, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, bigamy, armed robbery, extortion, felony bad check, felony shoplifting, larceny, receiving stolen property, robbery, timber larceny, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, statutory rape, carjacking or larceny under lease or rental agreement.

Absentee voting is also under way.

To qualify for absentee voting, residents must first request an application by stopping by the circuit clerk’s office or calling the office to request an application in the mail.

Voters qualify for absentee voting if they cannot be in town during election day or if they are permanently disabled.

Residents in the military can vote absentee via email, mail or fax.

Further instructions and application requests for absentee voting can be answered by calling the Adams County Circuit Clerk’s office at 601-446-6326 or the Mississippi Secretary of State’s elections answer line at 1-800-829-6786.

When mailing an application and ballot to the clerk’s office, the application and ballot must be sent through the U.S. post office in the separate envelopes provided.

The circuit clerk’s office is located on the first floor of the Adams County Courthouse at the intersection of Wall and State streets.
