Last-Minute Changes to Hinds County Polling Places Ahead of Primary Election

Hinds County in Mississippi moved two polling places just hours before the party primaries for statewide, legislative, and county offices. The Pinehaven precinct was moved from Sumner Hill Jr. High School to the Clinton Fire Station, while Precinct 01 was moved from the Eudora Welty Library to the Old Capitol Inn. The reasons for the sudden changes were not provided, and election officials did not have enough time to notify voters. This comes as part of a larger trend of changes to voting precincts across the state, with a total of 163 changes since the 2022 general election.
