What you need to know to vote in Mississippi

Here’s what the ballot in Mississippi looks like.

Mississippians who vote by mail will be notified of problems with their ballots and given an opportunity to correct them. Voters must receive correspondence from election officials about problems with the signature verification on the absentee ballot, and the voter will have 10 days to correct it. The voter should be provided an “absentee cure form” to correct the problem. Read more about this rule here.

Mississippi voters will be asked on Tuesday, Nov. 3, whether they want to legalize medical marijuana in the state. But voting on the issue will be complicated thanks to a legislative addition to an otherwise simple question on the ballot. Here’s how to vote for or against medical marijuana.

The only thing early voters can do to ensure their ballot has been received is call their local circuit clerk. You can find your circuit clerk here.
