NEW: Local Mississippi election officials have changed the polling locations for 5,000 Mississippians from where they were during the spring primaries, the secretary of state announced.

NOTE: Mississippi Secretary of State @MichaelWatsonMS is NOT in charge of polling place changes.

Elections are ground up in MS, not central. These are local supervisor, commissioner & circuit clerk decisions. @MississippiSOS provides guidelines+training. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/6460/officials-moved-polling-places-for-5000-mississippi-voters-ahead-of-election-secretary-of-state-says/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/6460/offi...

So if your MS polling place changed or you were wrongly purged from the voter rolls, call your local circuit clerks, election commissioners, and supervisors first before going to SOS.

Local officials are supposed to notify SOS of changes to polling places.
