Mississippi residents who plan to vote in the Nov. 7 statewide elections must register to vote in-person by 5 p.m. today, Monday, Oct. 9, or have a mail-in voter registration application postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 10. Information on registering to vote is below.
In-Person Voter Registration
Voters can register to vote in-person or update their voter registration to a new address at their local circuit clerk’s office, their municipal clerk’s office, at any state or federal agency offering government services (such as the Department of Human Services in Jackson) or when they get their driver’s license at their local Department of Public Safety or DMV. Voters must register 30 days before an election to cast a ballot unless that falls on a Sunday or legal holiday; in that case, both the in-person and postmark deadlines are extended to the next regular business day. The in-person voter registration deadline for the 2023 general election is Monday, Oct. 9 at 5 p.m.

To register to vote by mail, voters can fill out and print a copy of a voter registration form online at this link or obtain a form at their local circuit clerk’s office, municipal clerk’s office, public library or other participating government office.
If voters do provide a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the form, they must send either a copy of a current and valid photo ID or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or any other document that shows their name and address.
Voters should mail the application to their local circuit clerk’s office in their county of residence. To cast a ballot in the Nov. 7 general election, voters must have the form postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 10.
