If you're voting today, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and you can still vote if you're in line by 7 p.m. Hattiesburg-area ballots carry federal, judicial and school board races. Forrest County has six additional races, and Lamar County has 11.
Lamar County Circuit Clerk Martin Hankins says the county expects higher turnout than in 2022. Not sure where to vote? We suggest using the "My Election Day" tool at sos.ms.gov before you leave home.
“As long as they're here, they're at the correct precinct, and they have their photo I.D., they should be good to go.”
