NATCHEZ — Mississippians will go to the polls on Aug. 6 to cast ballots in party primaries for some 15 countywide offices that are up for grabs.

If you will not be in the area on primary election day, you still have time to cast an absentee ballot.

The Circuit Clerk’s office in the Adams County Courthouse at 115 S. Wall St., Natchez, will be open from 8 a.m. until noon Saturday and again on Aug. 3, which is the last day to cast an absentee ballot before the Aug. 6 primaries.

Any necessary primary runoffs will be held Aug. 27.

Voters 65 and older can call the circuit clerk’s office at 601-446-6326 to have an absentee ballot mailed to them.

Mail-in absentee ballots must be delivered to the circuit clerk’s office by 5 p.m. Aug. 5.

Six races — District 1 Adams County Supervisor, Adams County Northern District Constable, Adams County Southern District Constable, Northern District Justice Court Judge, Adams County Coroner and Adams County Prosecuting Attorney — will be decided during the party primary race since all candidates for those positions are running as Democrats.
