HB 22 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Same-day voter registration; authorize.

HB 22 would allow eligible Mississippi voters to register and vote on election day at designated polling locations. To register, voters must present photo ID and address proof (if the ID doesn't show address), sign a sworn statement confirming they haven't voted before, and meet all existing voter eligibility requirements. Election officials would set up specific locations for this process, with registration ballots handled and counted identically to absentee ballots. The bill requires the Secretary of State to create implementing rules and amend related election laws to support this process.
