Deadline for MS primary July 10

The deadline to vote in Mississippi's Aug. 8 primary election is July 10 by 5 p.m.

Circuit clerks’ offices in Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Clay and Noxubee counties will be open on July 8 from 8 a.m. until noon for voter registration. 

Voters do not need to bring a photo ID to register to vote, said Lowndes County Circuit Clerk Teresa Barksdale, but they do need to have either a social security number or a driver’s license number. 

A photo ID will be required to vote, she said. (The Dispatch 06/16/23)
