Elections; authorize online voter registration and preelection day voting.
SB 2066 would allow Mississippi voters to register online using a secure website that verifies their identity against state driver's license records. It also permits voting up to 21 days before an election at county registrars' offices, requiring voters to appear in person with ID and follow the same procedures as election day. The bill specifies that pre-election votes would be counted immediately alongside election day votes, with the same challenges and rules applying as at polling places. These changes directly affect voters seeking online registration and those wishing to vote early at county offices, while requiring county registrars to process applications and manage early voting locations.
