Mississippi’s Primary Runoff Election Day is just one day away, with the August 29 ballot set to feature runoffs in 65 counties. At this time, the Statewide Election Management System (SEMS) has reported a total of 12,897 absentee ballots requested, 12,604 absentee ballots sent, and 10,415 absentee ballots received in.
Mississippi voters will head back to the polls next week to resolve a handful of state legislative contests and county races from the Aug. 8 primaries in which no candidate reached the vote majority needed to advance to November's general election.
