Independents Johnnie Collins, Eddie Holcombe, Bob Lummus and Kahla \u201cMrs. Daryl\u201d Thomas will be on the ballot.\nSeveral unopposed races will be on the ballot, including for election commissioner seats in Oktibbeha and Clay Counties, two seats on the West Point Consolidated School District Board of Trustees and judges for the 14th Chancery Court District and for the 16th Circuit Court District.\nLowndes County Circuit Clerk\u2019s office is located at 505 Second Ave. N. in Columbus; Clay County Circuit Clerk at 26089 W.

Those ballots will not be counted until election night.\nIn addition to normal business hours \u2013 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays \u2013 circuit clerk\u2019s offices in each county will open from 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 24 and Oct. 31 to provide voters another chance to cast their ballot.\nVoters wishing to vote absentee by mail must contact their clerk\u2019s office to request an application. Once the application is complete, notarized and returned to the clerk\u2019s office for verification, an official absentee ballot will be mailed within one business day or as soon as the ballots are ready.\nThe ballot will come with specific instructions for voting by mail and a return envelope. Voters must complete the ballot and the affidavit on the back of the envelope before mailing it back to the clerk\u2019s office.\nAbsentee voting by mail is available to any voter temporarily residing outside their county of residence, voters who are disabled or who are the parent, spouse or dependent of a disabled person, voters who are hospitalized outside of their county and those age 65 or older. Any incarcerated individual who has not been convicted of a disenfranchising crime can also vote absentee by mail.\nThe last day to vote in-person absentee is Oct. 31, and absentee ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received by the circuit clerk\u2019s office within five business days.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n \n \n Quality, in-depth journalism is essential to a healthy community.
