According to Circuit Clerk Amy Burdine, voter turnout in the Mississippi Primaries was lower in Choctaw County than she expected.
She stated that evidence of this was the small number of absentee ballots which were less than half the normal amount.
On the ballot, in both Democrat and Republican primaries, were the offices of U.S.
President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. House of Representatives, 1st Congressional District.
President Donald J. Trump and former Vice-President Joe Biden each easily won their respective primaries.
