en · 731 chars · active
The governing authorities of any municipality within the State of Mississippi are hereby
authorized and empowered, in their discretion, to divide the municipality into a sufficient
number of voting precincts of such size and location as is necessary, and there shall be the same
number of polling places. The authority conducting an election shall not be required, however, to
establish a polling place in each of said precincts, but such election authorities, whether in a
primary or in a general election, may locate and establish such polling places, without regard to
precinct lines, in such manner as in the discretion of such authority will better accommodate the
electorate and better facilitate the holding of the election.
