Here's How:

• To register to vote in Hinds County, you can pick up a voter-registration application at the Circuit Clerk’s office downstairs at 407 E. Pascagoula St. You can also download the application directly from the Circuit Clerk’s website or the Secretary of State’s website.

• Remember that you must register to vote at least 30 days before the next election in which you plan on voting. So, in order to be eligible to vote in our upcoming presidential and congressional election on Nov. 6, you need to register by Oct. 5.

• The application asks for your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have either one, you can present another form of valid photo ID, a copy of a utility bill, a pay stub, a bank statement or a government document (for example, a government check) that shows your current name and address. If you have any questions about what documents will or won’t meet the requirement, call the Circuit Clerk’s office at 601-968-6628.

• Shortly after you’ve submitted your application, you’ll be mailed a Voter Card that will tell you where to vote.
