Mississippi allows registered voters to vote absentee if they meet certain requirements. The listed qualifications include being 65 or older, being out of town on Election Day, working or being on call while polls are open, having a qualifying physical disability, or being a student, teacher or school administrator whose studies or work require being away on Election Day. Other circumstances may also qualify.
