Mississippi sending election reminders to military
Thousands of Mississippi National Guard members are training for deployment. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is pushing to ensure they know when to vote in upcoming elections.
His office is sending four thousand wallet-sized cards with voting deadline information to active members of the military. Hosemann says Tuesday that the goal is to provide information in a format they can carry rather than a large packet.
More than three thousand of the cards will be delivered to Mississippi National Guard members currently training in Fort Bliss, Texas soon to be deployed to the Syria-Turkey border.
Absentee ballots are due on election days, June 5th for party primaries and Nov. 6th for the general election.
Mississippi has elections this year for U.S House and Senate and some judicial seats.
