- Polls will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. See who is on the ballot in what districts.
Special legislative elections are being held in eight state Senate districts and two House districts on Tuesday, November 4.
Six state Senate seats and one House seat are on the ballot as a result of court-ordered redistricting to allow for more majority minority districts in the Legislature.

Voters in two other Senate seats and one House seat will determine who will succeed outgoing members that resigned mid-term. John Horhn and Orlando Paden won mayoral races in Jackson and Clarksdale, respectively, while David Jordan resigned citing the need to take care of his wife.
Polls will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. Any voter in line at 7:00 p.m. is legally entitled to cast a ballot.
The Mississippi Secretary of State’s office is reminding voters to bring an acceptable form of photo ID as well as to refrain from taking pictures of their marked ballot. In addition, it is unlawful to campaign for any candidate within 150 feet of any entrance to a polling place, unless on private property.
