Absentee voting; extend time allowed on Saturdays to 5:00 p.m.

HB 81 would extend the hours for in-person absentee voting by requiring Mississippi registrar offices to remain open until 5:00 p.m. on the two Saturdays immediately before each election. This change directly affects voters who choose to cast absentee ballots in person at their county registrar's office, rather than by mail. The bill amends existing law to standardize the closing time for these in-person absentee voting sessions across all election types. It does not alter mail-in ballot rules or deadlines for absentee ballots received by mail.
