Absentee voting; extend time allowed on Saturdays to 5:00 p.m.

HB 168 extends the deadline for in-person absentee voting at Mississippi county registrar offices to 5:00 p.m. on the two Saturdays immediately before elections. This change affects voters who must visit the registrar's office to cast absentee ballots in person, rather than voting by mail. The bill modifies existing voting hours in sections of Mississippi law without altering mail-in ballot rules or eligibility criteria. It would take effect July 1, 2025, if enacted.
