Curbside voting; authorize for those voting in person absentee at registrar's office.
HB 169 would have allowed physically disabled voters in Mississippi to cast absentee ballots from their vehicles at their county registrar's office during regular business hours. The bill required registrars to verify the voter's ID, deliver the ballot to the vehicle, and ensure secrecy (e.g., other passengers exiting the car while the voter marks the ballot). It specified that voters would complete an affidavit and envelope as outlined in the bill, with additional safeguards to prevent ballot rejection. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
