Elections; allow individuals to vote by affidavit if they register after thirty-day cutoff but before election day.
SB 2625 would allow Mississippi voters who register after the 30-day deadline but before election day to cast a ballot using a signed affidavit at their polling place. This applies specifically to individuals who legally registered late but were otherwise eligible to vote. Voters would complete a written affidavit stating they believe they are registered and eligible, and their ballot would be processed in a separate envelope requiring verification of ID within five business days to be counted. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was not enacted.
