Mississippi voters are heading to the polls today, Tuesday, March 10, for the state’s primary elections. In Attala County, voters will cast ballots in two key races: U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.
Attala County is part of Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District, meaning local voters will take part in party primaries that will determine which candidates advance to the November general election.
U.S. Senate Race
Voters are selecting party nominees for one of Mississippi’s seats in the United States Senate.
In the Republican primary, incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith is seeking another term and is being challenged by Sarah Adlakha, a physician.
On the Democratic primary ballot, voters are choosing among Scott Colom, Albert R. Little, and Priscilla W. Till.
The winners of each party’s primary will advance to the general election in November.
U.S. House – District 2
In the race for Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District, longtime incumbent Bennie G. Thompson faces two challengers in the Democratic primary: Evan Littleton Turnage and Pertis Herman Williams III.
On the Republican primary ballot, voters are choosing between Ron Eller and Kevin Wilson.
The winners from each party will move on to the general election later this year.
Voting Information
Polls are open today from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. across Mississippi.
If no candidate receives a majority of the vote in any race, a runoff election will be held April 7.
Voters who have questions about their polling location or registration status can check with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office.
