Tillatoba, Mississippi Public Records

Registration must be completed at least 30 days before an election, and voters must provide their Mississippi driver's license or identification card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Instead, residents participate in county, state, and federal elections administered by Yalobusha County. Voters can find their assigned polling place by contacting the Circuit Clerk's office at (662) 473-2091 or checking the Mississippi Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at www.sos.ms.gov. Mississippi law makes certain election records public, including voter registration lists (available with restrictions), campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State's Office, candidate qualifying documents, and precinct-level election results. In the November 2024 presidential election, Yalobusha County had approximately 6,800 registered voters with turnout of around 52-55%, consistent with historical patterns in north Mississippi rural counties. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters in the area will decide several important races. Mississippi does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026, but voters will select candidates for U.S. House of Representatives (Mississippi's 1st District, which includes Yalobusha County), all 122 seats in the Mississippi House of Representatives, and all 52 seats in the Mississippi State Senate, as Mississippi holds legislative elections in odd-numbered years following redistricting. County offices including Board of Supervisors seats, Circuit Clerk, Chancery Clerk, Sheriff, Tax Assessor, Tax Collector, Coroner, Surveyor, and Justice Court judges will be on the ballot depending on the election cycle, as county officials serve four-year terms. Mississippi operates on a partisan primary system with primaries typically held in August and runoffs in late August if no candidate receives a majority, followed by the general election in November. Absentee voting in Mississippi is available for specific reasons outlined in Miss. Code Ann. § 23-15-713, including being away from one's county of residence on election day, required to work on election day, persons with temporary or permanent physical disabilities, caregivers, election officials assigned outside their precinct, military and overseas voters, and students. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Circuit Clerk's office no later than 12 noon on the Saturday before the election. In-person absentee voting is available at the Circuit Clerk's office beginning 45 days before an election through the Saturday before election day. Mississippi requires voters to present an approved form of photo identification at the polls, including driver's license, photo ID card, U.S. Passport, government employee ID, tribal photo ID, firearms license, student photo ID from an accredited Mississippi university, or a Mississippi Voter Identification Card available free from Circuit Clerk offices.
