Saturday is final day to register to vote Nov. 4


The deadline to register to vote in the November 4 General Election is Saturday, October 4.

“Every Mississippian should be registered to vote,” said Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.  “This is a privilege that comes at the cost of countless men and women who have given their lives for our country. You can honor their sacrifice by registering to vote today.”

The Panola Circuit Clerk’s Office will be open from 8 a.m.-noon Saturday to accept voter registration forms.  Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by Saturday, October 4.

Voters are required by law to register at least 30 days prior to an election day.   Voter registration applications submitted after October 4 will be processed by the Circuit Clerk, but the voter will not be eligible to cast a ballot in the November 4 General Election. 

Eligible military and overseas voters are given an extended registration period in Mississippi.  The deadline for military and overseas voters to register to vote is October 25.

Registration forms are available at local Circuit Clerk’s offices.  Applications may be downloaded from the Secretary of State’s Web site at www.sos.ms.gov.
