Legislation introduced to allow online voter registration in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Legislation in Mississippi aims to modernize first-time voter registration by allowing online applications, introduced by Rep. Zakiya Summers through House Bill 753. Mississippi is one of only seven states without online registration. The proposal mandates the Secretary of State’s office collaborate with the Department of Public Safety to create an online portal, applicable only to eligible voters with valid state IDs. Additionally, schools are required to provide guidance on online and mail-in applications. The online applications must be submitted 30 days prior to elections. The bill, currently in committee, hopes to enhance voter participation, specifically among young citizens.

Senate’s in-person early voting bill triggers intraparty Republican spat
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate passed the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” allowing a 15-day “no excuse” early voting period, reducing the current 45-day absentee requirement. While the Republican-authored bill received bipartisan support, Governor Tate Reeves opposes it, claiming it could increase voter fraud and labels the initiative a “Democrat priority.” Senator Jeremy England defends the legislation, noting it aligns Mississippi with 47 other states that allow early voting. Despite Reeves’ criticisms, England argues that convenience in voting is essential. The bill, having passed with a 39-12 vote, awaits consideration in the House, where England hopes for a veto-proof majority.
