Early voting; authorize.

HB 586 establishes Mississippi's Early Voting Act, creating standardized early voting periods for all elections (primary, general, runoff, special, municipal). It requires 15 days of early voting ending at noon Saturday before election day, with registrar offices open 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the two preceding Saturdays. The bill mandates 14-day public notice in three locations (including courthouses), sets specific voter ID requirements at early voting locations, and prohibits in-person absentee ballot casting at registrar offices while requiring absentee ballots to be received by 5 p.m. the day before election. This directly affects all qualified Mississippi voters participating in state and local elections.
