Vicksburg, Mississippi Public Records

Bond and bail procedures follow Mississippi state guidelines, allowing detainees to secure release while awaiting court hearings. For information on recently arrested individuals, the jail's administrative office maintains these records.

State law requires voters to present acceptable photo identification at polling places, including a Mississippi driver's license, U.S. Passport, government-issued ID, tribal photo ID, student photo ID from an accredited Mississippi university, or a free Mississippi Voter Identification Card available from any Circuit Clerk's office. Municipal elections in Vicksburg follow Mississippi's calendar, with races for Mayor and Board of Aldermen held every four years.

The state makes certain election records publicly accessible. Voter registration lists - without Social Security numbers and birth dates - are available for purchase by political parties and candidates. Campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with and available from the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office at https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/pages/campaign-finance.aspx.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Warren County reported approximately 12,500 ballots cast from roughly 21,000 registered voters, representing approximately 60% turnout. On November 3, 2026, voters in Warren County will decide several key races. Mississippi does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026 (next Senate races are in 2026 for the seat currently held by Roger Wicker). However, 2026 is not a gubernatorial election year in Mississippi (next Governor's race is 2027). County officials on the ballot will include Chancery Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Tax Assessor, Sheriff, Coroner, and Board of Supervisors members whose terms expire. Mississippi House of Representatives and State Senate seats from districts covering Vicksburg (House District 54 and Senate District 19) will also be contested. Absentee voting in Mississippi is available only to voters meeting specific criteria: those who will be away from their county of residence on election day, persons with temporary or permanent physical disabilities, voters over 65 years of age, election day poll workers, parents with children requiring hospital care, and members of the military and their spouses. Absentee ballot applications are available from the Warren County Circuit Clerk's Office and must be requested in person or by mail with a notarized signature. The deadline for absentee ballot applications is seven days before the election for mail ballots, though in-person absentee voting at the Circuit Clerk's office continues until noon the Saturday before Tuesday elections. Mississippi does not offer no-excuse absentee voting; voters must meet statutory eligibility criteria.
