NATCHEZ — Absentee voters have until noon Saturday to help choose winner or party ticket holder on the local level for Adams County circuit clerk, on the state level for governor and treasurer and on the district level for transportation commissioner.

The Adams County Courthouse will be open from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday for the last day of absentee voting for the second primary election.

Tuesday’s second primary election will include three races on the Democratic Ballot and one race on the Republican ballot.

Circuit Clerk Incumbent Eddie Walker will face Jennifer “Lady J” Minor on the Democratic ballot in the second primary. The winner of that race will take office in January.

The second primary winner of the race between Democratic governor candidates Johnny Dupree and Bill Luckett will face Republican Phil Bryant in November.

The Democratic race for Public Service Commissioner, Southern District, between Mike Collier and Thomas “Tom” Blanton will also be decided in the second Democratic primary.

The only Republican race that will be decided in the second primary is the race for Mississippi State Treasurer between Lynn Fitch and Lee Yancey.

Only those absentee ballots cast at the circuit clerk’s office or delivered by U.S. mail to the circuit clerk’s office by 5 p.m. Aug. 22 will be counted.
