***MISSISSIPPI VOTERS***
Your ballot MUST contain the initials of a poll manager to be valid.
Mississippi Code §23-15-541 addresses this requirement.
Poll manager initials on a ballot confirm that the ballot is an official, original ballot and not a fraud. This is just one of the many steps in place to secure the integrity and security of our elections in Mississippi.
You may see information on social media (such as the attached photo) that is not correct.
Keep in mind that federal elections are ran independently by the individual states. Each state has their own unique election laws and procedures. The law in Alabama or Florida may not be the law in Mississippi.
However, so much misinformation is also being spread to create chaos and confusion. Don’t fall prey to these bad actors.
Always get your election info from TRUSTED SOURCES.
If you have questions about election procedures, give me a call at (662) 562-5211 ext 4 or the Secretary of State’s Elections Answerline at 1-800-829-6786.
You can also stop by any of our local circuit clerks offices across the state. There are 82 Circuit Clerks and 400+ Election Commissioners out here working daily to conduct a safe and secure election season for our great state.
