Absentee voting; authorize every qualified elector.

SB 2214 would have expanded Mississippi's absentee voting rules to allow any qualified voter to request an absentee ballot, removing current restrictions that limited absentee voting to specific categories like the elderly or military personnel. This change would have directly affected all eligible Mississippi voters seeking to cast ballots by mail. The bill amended Section 23-15-713 of the Mississippi Code to state that "any duly qualified elector" could vote via absentee ballot. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
