Early voting; authorize.

HB 347 establishes a standardized early voting period for all Mississippi elections (including primaries, general elections, runoffs, and municipal races), requiring six days of voting starting six days before the election and ending at 5 p.m. on the Saturday preceding Election Day. Qualified voters must cast ballots in person at their county voter registration office during regular business hours (with extended Saturday hours), presenting photo ID, and cannot submit absentee ballots in person at the registrar's office. The bill mandates that early voting locations be publicly advertised in three community spots (including courthouses or city halls) eight days in advance and requires all early ballots to be counted simultaneously with Election Day results. This applies to all eligible Mississippi voters participating in public office elections.
