Mississippi lawmakers began the process of drafting legislation today that could bring early voting, voter identification requirements and other election reforms to Mississippi.
Members of the Senate Elections Committee considered a report from the Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann as they met at the state Capitol. The report stems from statewide meetings Hosemann held this year to gather information on possible election reforms.
The 2009 legislative session begins next month.
Many states offer early voting. Mississippi is not one of them.
Supporters say early voting would make it more convenient to vote and encourage more participation.
