CANTON, Miss. (WLBT) - Absentee voting in municipal elections across the Magnolia State is expected to begin Monday.
However, that wonât happen in the City of Canton because the Democratic primary ballot has yet to be finalized.
Five candidates have been disqualified by the Canton Municipal Democratic Executive Committee to run in the cityâs 2021 Democratic primary and three of those candidates are challenging that decision in Madison County Circuit Court.
