Same-day voter registration; authorize.

HB 275 would allow qualified Mississippi voters to register to vote and cast their ballot on the same day as an election. To register, voters must go in person to a designated location (chosen by county election commissioners), present photo ID and proof of address, and sign an affirmation confirming they haven’t voted before. Approved registrants receive a special ballot marked "election day registration," which is counted like an absentee ballot. This policy directly affects unregistered Mississippi residents who wish to vote on election day but do not meet current registration deadlines.
