Ballot box; prohibit the opening of and counting of votes until all of the polling places have closed.
HB 932 prevents election officials from opening ballot boxes or counting votes until all polling places in Mississippi have officially closed for the day. It requires poll managers to wait for notification from the county registrar confirming all polling places have closed before opening ballot boxes or announcing results. The bill mandates that all poll managers must simultaneously announce their precinct results only after receiving this county-wide notification. This change directly affects local election officials (poll managers) by standardizing the timing of vote counting and result announcements across all polling locations.
