RegistrationMississippi’s state voter guide says you must register at least 30 days before the election. For the November 3, 2026 general election, it lists the deadline as October 5, 2026. If the 30th day is a Sunday or legal holiday, the deadline moves to the next regular business day.Official details ↗

Early votingMississippi does not have a broad early-voting period for all voters. The state election office says absentee voting is available for voters who meet Mississippi’s absentee reasons. In-person absentee voting can be done at the Circuit Clerk’s Office or Municipal Clerk’s Office, and the state says the deadline to vote in person absentee for the November 3, 2026 election is October 31, 2026. The guide says you can apply starting any time within 45 days before the election until noon on the Saturday before the election.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailMississippi says absentee ballots are for voters who meet an allowed reason. The state says mail-in absentee ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day, November 3, 2026, and must be received within five business days after the election, which the office lists as November 10, 2026, for this election. The absentee page also says ballots are mailed to the Circuit Clerk and that some voters may vote in person absentee instead.Official details ↗

What may still change

The state voter guide says its calendar is for regularly scheduled elections and does not cover special elections, litigation, or other special circumstances.
I did not find a separate Mississippi state page that labels this as a universal 'early voting' period. The state describes the process as absentee voting, including in-person absentee voting.
Mississippi’s absentee rules depend on the voter’s qualifying reason, so not every voter can use mail or in-person absentee voting.
The official sources I checked do not use the term 'mail ballot' as a universal option for all voters; they use 'absentee ballot.'
Mississippi’s official Candidate Qualifying List is updated daily and states that it lists candidates who have filed qualifying papers, while the State Board of Election Commissioners determines final qualification for the general-election ballot. This answer uses the official list as the requested source.
The official state-page Candidate Qualifying List currently shows U.S. Senate candidates and several 2026 judicial and special-election candidates, but it does not show any statewide elected-office races for the November 3, 2026 general election. Mississippi’s election calendar shows statewide offices on a different election cycle.
I excluded U.S. House, judicial-retention, county, city, local, and special-election races as requested. In the official source set, the only general-election federal race matching your filter is U.S. Senate.
Candidate names are reported exactly as shown on the official list, including punctuation and middle initials.

Key facts

The official candidate list currently shows U.S. Senate, U.S. House, judicial, and special-election entries, but no statewide elected-office race for the November 3, 2026 general election.
Mississippi’s election calendar places statewide elected offices on the 2027 election cycle, not the 2026 general election cycle.
Because no statewide race appears on the official 2026 general-election candidate list, there are no certified statewide candidates to list here.
