Early voting; require Secretary of State to authorize for overseas military.
(H) Died In Committee
Summary
The bill would change state law so the Secretary of State must create regulations that let uniformed‑service members and overseas citizens vote early in regular, special and runoff elections. It also moves forward existing statutes that detail how these voters can request ballots, receive them by mail, fax or email, and how emergency voting would work during armed conflict. The goal is to bring Mississippi into compliance with federal voting rules for service members abroad.
