Summary

The bill orders the Mississippi Secretary of State to require each circuit clerk’s office to print a daily tally of how many in‑person absentee ballots were cast that day. The printed report must be produced by the ballot‑reading equipment at the close of business and be available to anyone who asks for it. The measure is intended to make absentee voting more transparent and sets up possible changes to election‑equipment rules.
