This legislation permits physically disabled individuals to vote absentee from their vehicle at the registrar's office during standard absentee voting hours. The registrar is responsible for verifying the voter's identity and delivering the ballot to the vehicle while maintaining ballot confidentiality by having other passengers exit the vehicle. Additionally, the bill includes updates to existing Mississippi Code sections regarding absentee voting procedures and introduces other sections for potential future amendments. These new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2026.
