Can Someone in Jail Register to Vote? Voter Registration Rules Families Should Know (MS)

The voter registration application needs to be completed and mailed to the Tishomingo County Circuit Clerk. Timing matters - the form must be mailed at least 30 days before the election your loved one wants to vote in. If you're helping from the outside, build in extra time. Getting the form to them, having it filled out, and mailing it back takes longer than you'd think. Waiting until the last minute is how applications end up late.

The Tishomingo County voter registration form asks for a Mississippi Driver's License number. No license? The form says to list the last four digits of their Social Security number instead. This is one of the easiest places for an application to get held up - confirm they have the right number before they start filling anything out.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Confirm your loved one is eligible to register and vote before submitting anything
• ✓ Gather the ID info the form asks for: a Mississippi Driver’s License number, or the last 4 digits of their Social Security number if they don’t have a license
• ✓ Mail the completed application to the Tishomingo County Circuit Clerk at least 30 days before the election (earlier is better to avoid delays)

Accuracy and timing do most of the heavy lifting here. The form is clear about where it goes (the county Circuit Clerk) and how early it needs to be mailed (at least 30 days before the election). Have the Mississippi driver's license number ready - or the last four digits of their Social Security number if they don't have a license. Getting this right the first time prevents delays.
