Mississippians Vote in Tuesday’s US Senate, House Primaries

Mississippi voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, March 10, to select Republican and Democratic nominees for November’s U.S. House and U.S. Senate midterm elections.

The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters who are in line by 7 p.m. will be eligible to cast a ballot.

When they arrive at the polls, voters must bring an acceptable form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license, state-issued photo ID, U.S. passport, government employee ID card, student ID from a state university or college, firearms license, tribal ID or a Mississippi Voter Identification Card. Information on how residents can obtain a free voter-identification card from their local circuit clerk’s office is available here.

Voters are eligible to cast a ballot if they registered at least 30 days before the election. More information on voting is available on the Secretary of State’s FAQ section and Voter Information Guide.

As in most Mississippi elections, some polling places may have changed since the last election. You can see a list of all precincts and polling places statewide using this copy of the Statewide Election Management System’s list, but the Mississippi Free Press has repeatedly found that some information in SEMS is outdated or erroneous. Contact your local circuit clerk’s office to confirm your polling place.
