๐ฃ๏ธ Donโt believe the RUMORS! Know the TRUTH about VOTING! Take a moment to read and PLEASE share this important VOTING information!!!
๐ณ๏ธ KNOW THE FACTS BEFORE YOU VOTE
Misinformation circulating online claims that a poll worker writing on your ballot makes it invalid. That claim can cause confusion about Mississippiโs voting procedures.
In Mississippi, the designated poll manager is required to initial the back of your paper ballot before giving it to you. These required initials do not invalidate your ballot. They help verify that it is an official ballot issued at the polling place.
The accompanying graphic from the Mississippi Secretary of Stateโs Office is being shared to clarify this requirement and help voters receive accurate information.
If you have questions about your ballot or the voting process, ask an election official. Before sharing election information online, verify it with your local election officials (contact information below) or the Mississippi Secretary of Stateโs Office @ 601-359-1358.
