Voter Registration Cards Mailed

New voter registration cards were mailed out in the spring, but it appears some voters didn’t receive a new card, or the card was returned because the voter moved. It's crucial to ensure that your voter information is accurate and up-to-date, especially with upcoming elections.

The Voter Registration cards list new district and precinct assignments and are a result of the required redistricting based on the 2020 census. All residents will soon receive a mailer explaining redistricting, precinct locations in their district, and information about their Supervisor and elected leaders

If you haven't received your new voter registration card or if you've recently moved, please contact the DeSoto County Circuit Clerk's office as soon as possible. The number is 662-469-8350.

How to Register

You may register to vote either by mail or by visiting the Circuit Clerk's Office or the Municipal Clerk's Office. You may also register to vote when applying for or renewing your driver's license, or when applying for services at numerous state and federal government agencies. These agencies forward your application to the Circuit Clerk's Office; however, you should call the Circuit Clerk's Office to verify the receipt of your application.

If you are unable to visit the locations aforementioned, you may call the Circuit Clerk's Office to request an application to register to vote by mail or you may print one out from this website. You must register 30 days prior to an election in order to be eligible to vote in that election.

Once your voter registration application has been processed in the Circuit Clerk's Office, you will be mailed a voter registration card which will give your voting precinct, precinct location address, Supervisor's District number, and Congressional District number.
