Special to The Canton News 

With election season right around the corner, many are learning more about the importance of voting. Canton High School students recently participated in a Delta Sigma Theta Sorority voter registration drive. To register in Mississippi you must: Be a citizen of the United States; have lived in Mississippi and in your county (and city, if applicable) 30 days before Election Day; be 18 years old by the time of the general election in which you want to vote; have not been convicted of voter fraud or any other disenfranchising crime (or, if you have been convicted, you must have had your rights restored); not have been declared mentally incompetent by a court.
