Mississippi Secretary Warns Against Third-Party Voter Registration Mailers

Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson has issued warnings about voter registration mailers being sent by the Voter Participation Center, a non-profit organization targeting young, non-white, and unmarried voters. These mailers, which suggest that someone at the recipient's address may not be registered to vote, are not official correspondence from the Secretary of State or local election officials. Voters are urged to rely on trusted sources such as local election officials and the Secretary of State's office for accurate election information and to verify their registration status through official channels like YallVote.ms. The Voter Participation Center has a history of mobilizing the so-called 'New American Majority' and has opposed legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Meanwhile, changes in official election mail envelopes in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, are being communicated to voters to ensure awareness and avoid confusion. These developments highlight ongoing efforts and concerns around voter registration communications and election integrity across different states.
