NATCHEZ — The deadline to cast in-person absentee ballots before Tuesday’s primaries is noon Saturday and the Adams County Circuit Clerk’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday to accommodate last-minute absentee voters.

Mail-in absentee ballots must be delivered to the circuit clerk’s office by 5 p.m. Monday, according to state voting laws.

So far, Adams County Circuit Clerk office workers say approximately 500 absentee ballots have been cast and that the office is handling as many as 50 absentee ballots per day.

Otherwise, voters will go to the polls on Tuesday to cast ballots in as many as 15 local Adams County races, including circuit clerk, sheriff and justice court judges and in district races, including state representatives, state senators and the district attorney.

Also on primary ballots will be candidates for statewide offices, including governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state.
