Constitution; amend to require early voting 10 days before every election.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 proposes amending Mississippi's 1890 Constitution to require a 10-day early voting period before all elections. The bill mandates that early voting begin 10 days before primary, general, runoff, special, and municipal elections and end at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday preceding election day, with specific hours for registrar offices. It requires at least one early voting location per 30,000 county voters or 10,000 municipal voters, public notice of voting times, and treats early votes as final with simultaneous announcement alongside election day results. This amendment directly affects all Mississippi voters and election officials by expanding early voting access and standardizing its implementation across the state.
