Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this post mistakenly identified the ballots that had been counted. We regret the error.

Hinds County election commissioners have finished processing and sorting affidavit ballots on Tuesday leading up to the 5 p.m. deadline for Mississippi voters to resolve any voter I.D. issue.

Hinds County received 64 mail-in absentee ballots and over 8,000 in-person absentee ballots, Supervisor Robert Graham said in a Tuesday email. The in-person ballots have been counted. There was no figure given for “on-hold ballots.”

The Hinds County Election Commission will hold a meeting at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in the Election Commission Office at 701 Commerce St. The meeting notice was posted on the building at about 4 p.m.

The Hinds County Resolution Board will meet at 10 a.m. at the same location, Election Commission office assistant Shirley Harrison told the Mississippi Free Press.
