Affidavit ballots; reduce length of time within which certain persons must present proper voter ID or execute religious exemption.
SB 2063 shortens the deadline for Mississippi voters without acceptable photo ID to have their affidavit ballots counted from five to three business days after an election. This directly affects voters who cannot present required photo ID (such as a driver's license or state ID) at polling places and must cast an affidavit ballot instead. The bill requires these voters to return to their local circuit or municipal clerk's office within three days to either present photo ID, obtain a Mississippi Voter ID card, or sign a religious exemption affidavit. It amends existing election law to adjust this verification timeframe for ballot counting purposes.
