Creation of rules regarding polling place safety and COVID-19.

Creation of rules requiring absentee ballots remain in the registrar’s office and providing for the counting of said ballots. The rules have been amended since the original notice to include rules for “curing” certain specified deficiencies in a voter’s absentee ballot. Under Miss. Code Ann. §25-43-3.113(2)(b)(iv), these rules will be effective on November 3rd, 2020, before the 30th day due to the fact that an earlier effective date is necessary because of imminent peril to the public health, safety or welfare.
