Brooksville, Mississippi Public Records

Registration must be completed at least 30 days before an election. In-person registration is available at the Circuit Clerk's office, and mail-in forms can be obtained from the Secretary of State's website or local election office. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, Mississippi residents, at least 18 years old by the election date, and not disqualified by felony conviction unless voting rights have been restored. Because Brooksville is unincorporated and has no municipal government, residents participate in Noxubee County Board of Supervisors elections, state legislative races, statewide offices, and federal elections rather than city council or mayoral contests. Mississippi holds statewide elections for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other state offices in odd-numbered years following presidential elections, most recently 2023 and next in 2027. Voters can find their assigned polling location by contacting the Circuit Clerk's office at (662) 726-5461 or checking the Mississippi Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at www.sos.ms.gov. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters in the area will decide several significant races. Mississippi's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Roger Wicker is not up for election in 2026, with his next election in 2024, and Cindy Hyde-Smith's seat was last contested in 2024. However, Mississippi's U.S. House seats will be on the ballot, with the community located in Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District. All 122 Mississippi House of Representatives seats and half of the 52 Mississippi State Senate seats will be contested in 2026, though state legislative elections in Mississippi occur in odd years, so 2026 will not include these unless special elections occur. County-level positions including some Noxubee County Supervisor districts, Tax Assessor, and other county offices may appear on the 2026 ballot depending on term schedules. Absentee voting in Mississippi is available for specific qualifying reasons including being away from the county on election day, temporary or permanent physical disability, age 65 or older, parent or caretaker of a dependent with a disability, or required work responsibilities. Absentee ballot applications must be requested from the Circuit Clerk's office and returned by mail or in person. The application deadline is typically by noon on the Saturday before the election for mail ballots. Mississippi does not have universal mail-in voting or no-excuse absentee voting. Public election records available through the Circuit Clerk and Secretary of State include voter registration statistics, precinct-level election results, candidate filings, and campaign finance reports for state candidates filed with the Secretary of State's office. Voter registration lists are available to candidates and political parties under specific statutory requirements but are not freely available online to the general public.
