Mail-in Voter Registration Form

Mail-in Voter Registration Form. All local registrars and designated voter registration agencies shall use a uniform voter registration form (Exhibit D) for registering citizens who register by mail. This voter registration form is available upon request from the Secretary of State and publicly available by the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ms.gov. Federal law requires the states to accept and use the mail-in voter registration application form described in the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) for registration of voters in elections for federal office. Further, NVRA requires states to designate as voter registration agencies all offices that provide public assistance and offices that provide state-funded programs to persons with disabilities. In addition to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, these agencies so designated by Governor Ronnie Musgrove are the Department of Human Services, the Governor’s Office, Division of Medicaid, Department of Health, Department of Rehabilitation Services and Department of Mental Health. These designated agencies are required to provide the opportunity to register or decline to register to vote to each applicant for assistance, recertification, re- application or whenever an applicant or recipient updates his/her address.
