Curbside voting; authorize for those voting in person absentee at registrar's office.
HB 20 allows physically disabled voters in Mississippi to cast absentee ballots from their vehicles at county registrar offices during regular business hours. The bill requires registrars to provide ballots in the voter’s car, with the voter marking it privately (while other passengers exit for secrecy), sealing it, and submitting it via the standard affidavit process. This directly affects disabled voters who cannot enter registrar offices, modifying existing voting procedures to enable curbside absentee voting without changing ballot requirements or eligibility. The bill amends specific sections of Mississippi’s voting code to implement this access measure.
