Secretary of State's Office Upgrades Polling Place Locator

JACKSON, Miss – With Election Day on the horizon, the Secretary of State's Office and Secretary of State Michael Watson encourage Mississippians to utilize the updated polling place locator through the My Election Day portal for the latest poll information.


Developed to ensure Mississippians have the most up-to-date information at all times, the new My Election Day polling place locator allows voters to see their polling place exactly as it was entered into the Statewide Election Management System (SEMS) by local election officials, a direct improvement over the previous polling place locator.


Prior to the My Election Day upgrade, polling place locations were updated via a two-step process: downloaded from SEMS and then uploaded to the Secretary of State's website. 


"Our office continues to find solutions for Mississippians to ensure they have the necessary tools and resources for a smooth Election Day process," said Secretary Michael Watson.


Launched in early July, My Election Day provides election information tailored to a specific address and a method to track an absentee or affidavit ballot.
