MS SB2606

Requires registrars to enter completed voter registration applications into the Statewide Elections Management System and compare applicant information with Department of Public Safety driver's license and identification data to verify citizenship status.

Directs the Statewide Elections Management System to notify the registrar if applicant information does not confirm U.S. citizenship, and requires the registrar to check the SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) database for further verification.

Requires registrars to send notice by first-class mail (and optionally email or telephone) to applicants whose citizenship cannot be confirmed, asking them to provide proof of citizenship within 30 days; acceptable documentation includes birth certificates, U.S. passports, naturalization documentation, or documents established under the Federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Establishes that applicants who fail to respond or provide proof of citizenship within 30 days shall be marked as "pending" in the system for two federal general elections, during which they may cast affidavit ballots if they submit documentation within 5 days; after two federal general elections without response, applicants are marked as "rejected."

Provides an appeal process allowing applicants to submit additional citizenship proof to the Board of Election Commissioners, which shall conduct a hearing and forward its decision to the registrar to update the Statewide Elections Management System accordingly.
