JACKSON — Less than 24 hours remain until Mississippians head to the polls for Republican Primary Runoff Election Day. Eligible voters in Congressional Districts 2, 3, and 4 will cast a ballot for the candidate they wish to see advance to the November 8th General Election.

Please keep in mind crossover voting is not allowed in Mississippi, meaning a person who voted in one political party’s Primary Election cannot legally vote in a different political party’s Primary Runoff Election. However, voters who did not cast a ballot in the Primary Election are still eligible to vote in Tuesday's runoff elections.
