§ Miss. Code § 23-15-683(untitled)

Preparation and distribution of ballots for first and second elections;
ascertainment by absent voters of candidates in second election.
In any elections, as soon as the deadline for the qualification of candidates has passed, or
forty-five (45) days prior to the election, whichever is later, absentee ballots shall be prepared
and printed for the elections, and both of said ballots shall have printed thereon the names of all
candidates who originally qualify as candidates. However, such ballots shall be printed on paper
of different tints or colors and shall be styled so as to show which ballot is to be used for the first
election and which ballot is to be used for the second election.
When the proper application is made as is otherwise provided herein, the registrar shall send
to the absent voter the proper absent voter ballots for the elections as is otherwise provided
herein, and with such ballots there shall be sent also separate official envelopes for the return
thereof. No additional ballot shall be thereafter sent to the absent voter for the second election
but the absent voter shall ascertain which of the candidates who originally qualified are
candidates in the second election and he or she may vote for his choice between them on the
second election ballot previously sent him. If an absentee voter shall vote for any candidate on
the second election ballot who is not a candidate in the second election, his vote for that office
shall be disregarded.
