Biloxi Gulfport, MS, November 4, 2026 — Mississippi is progressing through the final stages of its 2026 general election count, with state officials confirming the process is underway. The Office of the Mississippi Secretary of State, led by Michael Watson, provided an update on the status of results.
According to the latest information, a significant number of counties have already submitted their unofficial results for the election. However, the official certification deadline for all results is set for November 13. This date allows for the final tabulation and verification of all votes cast.
The Secretary of State’s office indicated that the counting of outstanding absentee ballots and affidavit ballots is continuing. These categories of votes often require additional time for processing and verification to ensure accuracy and compliance with election laws.
A notable aspect of the ongoing tally is the U.S. Senate race within the state, which, as of the latest update, remains too close to call. The outcome of this closely contested race will be determined once all valid ballots have been counted and certified.
The deadline for certified results, November 13, will mark the official conclusion of the vote tabulation phase. Following this, the final outcomes for all races, including the U.S. Senate contest, will be publicly announced.
