Did you know that Mississippi is one of only 14 states to not allow no-excuse early voting?

HB 949 would change that by allowing voters to cast their ballot up to 10 days in advance.

Voting should be equally and uniformly accessible to every voter. No-excuse early voting allows more voters to participate in our democracy by making elections more accessible and fairer for all voters.

No-excuse early voting also allows reduces congestion and long lines at the polls on Election Day and, in turn, relieves the stress on voters and election workers alike.
