FORREST COUNTY, MS (WDAM) – The June 3rd primary was the first time Mississippi voters were required to present photo identification at the polls, and Forrest County’s voters had no issues, according to circuit clerk Lou Ellen Adams.
“We didn’t have problems,” said Adams. “Everything went smooth.”
Adams said the county issued fewer than 50 voter IDs before the primary. Of the voters in Forrest County, only eight showed up to vote without an ID.
Mississippi law allows voters to fill out an affidavit ballot if they do not have proper identification on Election Day. They are then given no more than seven days to present a photo ID to their circuit clerk in order for their ballot to be counted.
