Coffeeville, Mississippi Public Records

The registration deadline is 30 days before any election, and voters must provide a valid Mississippi driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Mississippi requires photo ID to vote, including Mississippi driver's licenses, U.S. Passports, government employee IDs, firearms licenses, student IDs from Mississippi universities, tribal IDs, or Mississippi voter ID cards available free from Circuit Clerks. The community holds municipal elections for mayor and board of aldermen on a four-year cycle, typically in the spring of years following gubernatorial elections (most recently 2021, next in 2025). Local ballot measures and candidate information are posted at Town Hall and published in local notices. Residents can find their assigned polling location by contacting the Circuit Clerk's office or checking the Mississippi Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/polling-place-locator. Polling places are assigned based on precinct boundaries within Yalobusha County. Under Mississippi public records law, voter registration lists are available for purchase for political purposes, though personal information like Social Security numbers is redacted. Campaign finance reports for state and county candidates are filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State and available at https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/campaign-finance. Local candidate filings are processed through the Circuit Clerk for county offices and through Town Hall for municipal offices. Precinct-level election results are published by the Circuit Clerk and the Secretary of State. In the November 2024 presidential election, Yalobusha County reported approximately 60-65% voter turnout, with approximately 5,500-6,000 ballots cast out of roughly 9,000 registered voters. On November 3, 2026, residents will decide several key races. At the federal level, Mississippi's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Roger Wicker is not up for election in 2026 (his term expires in 2028), and the state's other Senate seat held by Cindy Hyde-Smith will also not be on the 2026 ballot. However, Mississippi's U.S. House seats, including the 1st Congressional District which includes Yalobusha County, will be on the ballot. State-level races in 2026 will not include governor (Mississippi holds gubernatorial elections in odd-numbered years, most recently 2023), but will include all 52 Mississippi House of Representatives seats and approximately half of the 52 Mississippi Senate seats depending on district rotation. County voters will also elect county offices including Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Chancery Clerk, Tax Assessor, Tax Collector, and Board of Supervisors members, depending on term schedules. Mississippi allows absentee voting for voters who will be away from their county on election day, who are 65 or older, have a temporary or permanent physical disability, are the parent or caregiver of a dependent with a disability, or work on an offshore vessel. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Circuit Clerk's office by specific deadlines (typically the Saturday before the election for mail requests). Applications are available at https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/absentee-voting or from the Circuit Clerk's office.
