Under Mississippi law, numerous election records are public. Voter registration lists are available for inspection and can be purchased for lawful purposes. Campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State and are accessible online through the Secretary of State's website. Candidate qualifying information, precinct-level election results, and turnout statistics are public records. In the November 2024 presidential election, Walthall County reported voter turnout consistent with other rural Mississippi counties, with several thousand ballots cast from Walthall County's approximately 8,000 registered voters. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters in the area will decide several important races. No U.S. Senate seat from Mississippi is scheduled for election in 2026 - the state's Senate seats are up in 2024 and 2028 - and the Mississippi Governor's race is not on the ballot, as gubernatorial elections occur in odd-numbered years with the next in 2027. However, 2026 will feature elections for all of Mississippi's four U.S. House of Representatives seats, including the district representing Walthall County. State legislative races for the Mississippi House of Representatives and Mississippi Senate will also appear on the ballot if the redistricting cycle places those seats up for election. County-level offices such as sheriff, tax assessor, circuit clerk, chancery clerk, and supervisors may be on the ballot depending on Walthall County's election schedule for constitutional officers. Mississippi voters should verify specific 2026 races through the Secretary of State's website closer to the election. Mississippi offers absentee voting for qualified voters.
