In-Person Absentee Voting Available February 21 at Bolton City Hall

Special to The Bolton News

Bolton City Hall will open its doors on Saturday, February 21, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for in‑person absentee voting only in the Ward 2 Special Election.

This additional voting session provides registered Ward 2 voters the chance to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day without needing to meet specific absentee‑by‑mail requirements. In‑person absentee voting remains a critical option for eligible voters who may be unable to vote at their regular precinct on Election Day.

According to Mississippi’s election procedures, eligible voters must meet state criteria to cast an absentee ballot in person; typical qualifying reasons include work obligations, school attendance outside the county, being out of town on Election Day, age‑related limitations, or temporary or permanent disability. It’s essential for voters to confirm their eligibility and bring valid photo identification when they arrive to vote.

This Saturday voting session at City Hall is specifically for absentee ballots and not for Election Day precinct voting. Voters who do not vote absentee during this period will still have the opportunity to cast their ballot at their Ward 2 polling location on Election Day itself.

For more information about absentee voting rules and eligibility in Mississippi, contacting your local municipal clerk or visiting the Mississippi Secretary of State’s voter resources is recommended.
