The general election is set for Nov. 5, less than a week away and the deadline to submit absentee ballots is fast approaching.

In-person absentee voting ends at noon on Nov. 2, according to the Y’all Vote website, and mail-in absentee ballots have to be received by the Circuit Clerk’s office by Nov. 4.

On Election Day, polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For anyone confused about their polling place, the Y’all Vote website offers a polling place locator. Users simply type in their address and the locator will show them the address of their polling place and provide a sample ballot for their district.

The website, www.sos.ms.gov/vote, was launched in 2016, and also allows users to verify that they are registered to vote, while allowing registered voters to update their name and address information online.

Voters can also call the Circuit Clerk’s office at 601-403-2328 to verify registration or ask questions about the upcoming election.

Two polling precincts changed locations and one precinct has been added in 2019, according to previous coverage. Voters who participated in the primary elections or Republican primary run-off election will have already visited the new polling precincts, and voters affected by the location changes should have received voter registration cards alerting them to the changes in August.

The Sycamore District 5 precinct moved from the First Baptist Church on Sycamore Road to the Harvest Barn Church on George Mitchell in January, the Picayune District 2 precinct moved from Chimney Square to the Margaret Reed Crosby Memorial Library in June and the Springhill District 2 precinct at the North Central Volunteer Fire Department Station 1 was added in January.
