Mississippi Election Officials Haven’t Corrected Some Polling Place Errors After We Alerted Them, Endangering Voter Access
As Mississippians gear up to cast ballots for a major U.S. Senate race and all four U.S. House seats, some voters could still be sent to the wrong location on Election Day at multiple polling places due to erroneous addresses and outdated information in the state’s election system.
Mississippi election officials have made changes to more than 100 polling places ahead of the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Voters can use these tools to examine polling place changes across the state, including to see which ones have moved, closed or newly opened since the November 2024 election. The Mississippi Free Press compiled the list using data we obtained from the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office and after contacting local election officials in all 82 counties.
Despite our best efforts to verify accurate polling place information and sort out conflicts between state and local officials, we cannot guarantee that all polling place changes listed are correct; please contact your local circuit clerk or election commissioners to verify your polling place information. The information listed here is based on data in Mississippi’s Statewide Election Management System and information from county officials.
Voting precincts refer to the names of electoral districts voters are drawn into, while polling places are the physical locations where people within a precinct go to cast their ballots.
You can use the search bar in the table below the map to find polling places by county or precinct name.
