Absentee ballots; require receipt day before federal election if U.S. Supreme Court rules federal laws preempt state.

Summary

The bill requires that all absentee ballots for elections that include a federal office must be received by the registrar no later than the day before the election, but only if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that federal law overrides Mississippi’s absentee‑ballot statutes. It changes the current deadline of five business days after the election to the day before the election for those federal races. The change is meant to align state procedures with any federal preemption determined by the Court.
