Absentee voting; authorize every qualified elector.

SB 2628 would change Mississippi election rules to allow every qualified voter to request an absentee ballot, removing current restrictions that limited absentee voting to specific groups like seniors or military personnel. This would directly affect all registered Mississippi voters who wish to vote by mail without needing a qualifying reason. The bill's key provision amends election code to state that "any duly qualified elector" may vote by absentee ballot, streamlining the process. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
