Those who must register to vote should bring a picture ID or a Mississippi driver’s license.

“We have been having a mighty big turnout on those registering to vote,” Givens said.

Mississippians may utilize the Secretary of State’s Y’all Vote website, which includes an Absentee Voting FAQ and Step-by-Step Guide to Absentee Voting, or contact the Adams County Circuit Clerk’s office to verify eligibility. If eligible, ballots will be provided upon request.
