Donald J. Trump Early Voting Act; create.

HB 249 establishes a standardized 14-day early voting period for all Mississippi elections (including primaries, general, runoff, special, and municipal), beginning 14 days before election day and ending at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday before election day. It requires early voting to occur at county registrar offices during regular business hours, with additional locations mandated for every 30,000 county voters, and mandates posting voting hours in three public places (including courthouses) at least eight days in advance. The bill prohibits voters from casting absentee ballots in person at registrar offices and requires all early voting ballots to be processed and counted identically to election-day ballots. This bill directly affects all Mississippi voters participating in elections by expanding early voting access while maintaining existing voter ID requirements and ballot procedures.
