SB 2065 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Absentee voting; establish electronic application procedure for college students.

SB 2065 creates a secure online system for Mississippi college students to apply for absentee ballots electronically. It defines "student absentee voters" as registered students enrolled in higher education who are absent from their voting residence on election day due to school. To apply, students must submit an electronic form with a registrar's verification, a copy of their student ID, and other required details through a website established by the Secretary of State. Once approved, students automatically receive mailed absentee ballots for all elections until June 30 of the following year, eliminating the need for separate applications per election.
