Prentiss County Absentee Voting: Saturday Hours Set

Prentiss County voters can already cast absentee ballots for the Nov. 3 general election, and the Prentiss County Circuit Clerk’s Office is adding Saturday hours before Election Day, according to the Daily Corinthian. Here is what Prentiss County absentee voting looks like and what is on the ballot.

Prentiss County Absentee Voting Details

Absentee ballots are available now through the Prentiss County Circuit Clerk’s Office. The office will be open for absentee voting from 9 a.m. to noon on two Saturdays:

• Saturday, Oct. 24
• Saturday, Oct. 31

The Daily Corinthian’s report lists the final in-person absentee day as “Saturday, November 1,” but Nov. 1, 2026, falls on a Sunday, so voters should confirm the final day with the clerk’s office before making plans.
