Voter Information

Welcome to the City of Biloxi’s online voter information section. One of the most important responsibilities of a citizen is to exercise their right to vote. You’ll find links to helpful information here. This page will be updated to include information about the next municipal when one is scheduled. 

Who’s running?

Here is how it works: Those interested in running for municipal office file a Statement of Intent and petition with the city’s municipal clerk by a designated and time and date when an election has been scheduled. Those who wish to qualify as an Independent candidate must submit a Candidate Petition with 50 signatures of registered voters of the ward where the candidate proposes to run. Those signatures will then be validated before the would-be candidate is certified. 

When to vote

When an election is set, the date will be listed here.

If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in a party primary, there will be a runoff election between the top two candidates in that race. m.  To read about absentee voting, click here.
