SB 2047 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Absentee voting; establish electronic application procedure for college students.

SB 2047 would create a secure online system for Mississippi college students to apply for absentee ballots electronically. Students would submit a copy of their student ID and have their enrollment verified by a school registrar through a website established by the Secretary of State. Once approved, students would automatically receive mailed absentee ballots for all elections until June 30 of the following year. The bill amends existing election laws to implement this process, replacing manual application requirements for student voters.
