The requested total reflects the number of Mississippi voters who have requested an absentee ballot through their local Circuit Clerk’s office.

County Circuit Clerk’s offices have sent out 208,886 absentee ballots and 197,903 completed absentee ballots have been received in the state for the 2024 November General Election. The sent total reflects the number of absentee ballots sent to voters from Circuit Clerk offices. The received total reflects the number of completed absentee ballots returned to Circuit Clerk offices.
