Armed Services Absentee Voting Law; bring forward code sections related to.
HB 1529 is a procedural bill that reorganizes existing Mississippi code sections (23-15-671 through 23-15-701) related to military absentee voting, moving them to a more logical position in the law for potential future amendments. It does not change voting rights but consolidates provisions defining who qualifies as an "absent voter" (including active-duty military, veterans, dependents, and emergency responders), how they request ballots using federal forms, and administrative details for ballot envelopes and printing. The bill directly affects Mississippi military members, veterans, and their families who vote absentee while serving or living outside their county. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not advance to become law.
