Absentee ballots; require receipt day before federal election if U.S. Supreme Court rules federal laws preempt state.

This Mississippi bill would change absentee ballot rules for federal elections if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that federal laws override state laws on mail-in voting. Under the new rules, all absentee ballots would need to be received by election day rather than postmarked by election day, and voters without disabilities or age 65+ would need to mark their ballots in front of a registrar who must stay in their office. The bill also requires that ballots be sent only through the U.S. Postal Service or approved carriers like UPS and FedEx, and maintains restrictions on who can help voters mark their ballots. These changes would apply only to federal elections and would take effect only after a specific Supreme Court ruling is made public.
