Government Documents for You

On Tuesday, November 4, registered voters around the country will go to the polls to vote in their local, state, and federal elections. Here in Mississippi, voters will have the unique opportunity to vote for two United States Senators in the same year. More importantly, voters all over the country will have the opportunity to choose who will be the next President of the United States. Of course, this is only possible if you have first registered to vote.

The Government Documents, Microforms, and Current Journals Department has created a display where patrons can find answers to the following questions:

* How can I register to vote?
* Can I register here in Mississippi?
* How can I submit an absentee ballot if I am registered somewhere else?
* What form of ID do I need to bring with me to vote in November?

Voters can find the answers to these questions, and much more, by checking out the display in the Government Documents, Microforms, and Current Journals Department. Also available are voter registration forms for the State of Mississippi.

You can check out the following websites to learn more, or stop by the Government Documents, Microforms, and Current Journals Department and check out the display!
