Tuesday’s election will make history as voters are required to present a photo identification card before voting.

The requirement is the result of a constitutional initiative passed by state voters, and the Mississippi secretary of state’s office has been busy educating citizens about how to comply with the law. For more information on the types of IDs that may be used, please visit the Mississippi Voter ID website at msvoterid.ms.gov.

Polls will be open in Lincoln County Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the primary election for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives Third Congressional District.

Since this is a party primary, voters will have to choose whether to cast a Democratic ballot or a Republican ballot.

Democrats running for the nomination for the U.S. Senate are Travis W. Childers, William Bond Compton Jr., Bill Marcy and Jonathan Rawl. Democrats seeking the nomination for the congressional post are Jim Liljeberg, Douglas MacArthur “Doug” Magee and Dennis C. Quinn.

Republicans running for the nomination for the Senate are Thomas L. Carey, incumbent Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel. The Republican candidates seeking the nomination in the congressional race are Hardy Caraway and incumbent Gregg Harper.
