While Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said he would like for Mississippi’s new voter identification law to be enacted in time for the November general election, that is “unlikely” at this point.
The voter ID requirement must be approved by either the U.S. Department of Justice or by the federal courts, as are all changes to Mississippi election law.
Once the voter ID requirement is approved, the state must place cameras in circuit clerk’s offices in all 82 courthouses to allow people who currently do not have a government-issued photo ID a place to obtain one free of charge.
