On Tuesday, December 2, voters in Senate District 24 and Senate District 26 will return to the polls to decide runoff elections. Voters in other districts that recently held elections can see those results on our website.
Voters in Senate District 24 (portions of Leflore, Panola, and Tallahatchie counties) and Senate District 26 (portions of Hinds and Madison counties) who can’t make it to the polls on Dec. 2 can vote absentee now at their local circuit clerk’s office. Circuit clerks’ offices will be open for absentee voting:
- Monday – Friday, Nov. 17-21, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 22, 8:00 a.m. to noon
- Monday – Wednesday, Nov. 24-26, and Friday, Nov. 28, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 29, 8:00 a.m. to noon
All registered voters in the two runoff districts are eligible to participate, whether or not they voted in the Nov. 4 general election.
Before you head to the polls, please check out what the candidates themselves say about public school funding, private school vouchers, pre-k, and other important education matters in the Candidate Q&A section of our website.
Here are ways you can help elect a public education-friendly legislator:
- VOTE and be sure other registered voters in your household vote
- Take a friend or two with you to the polls
- Share the link to our Candidate Q&A on your own social media
- Use your social media to remind others to vote
Runoff elections typically have very low turnouts, so this is a terrific opportunity for public education voters to have an outsized impact. Please help us spread the word and get lots of public school supporters to the polls. Together, we’ve got this!
