Hazel McLauren took her daughter to Precinct 94, a community center in the Willowwood community. She voted in the election on November 2 and hopes to vote in the runoff on Tuesday to have a say in the next sheriff. 

"I think we need to change what we are doing," McLaren said. "The crime rate is high, and it's not just (Jackson police). Sheriffs have a role." 

She said she voted for Terry Jones because he has more experience in the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office. 

McLauren said that Marshand Crisler had previously represented her in the Jackson City Council on her ward, and she felt he didn't do much in this position. She said that as far as the interim sheriff is concerned, she also feels the same about his work. 

"I hope a better candidate wins," McLaren said. 

In the afternoon, several polling managers said that there were not as many residents voting in the run-off election as in the November 2 election. They want to see a boost after people get off work.

Precinct 8 is located at the fire station across the street from Millsaps College. Poll manager Shirley Cosey said that there are fewer than 1,000 registered voters in the constituency, and there are usually around 200 votes in elections. 

Just before 3 pm, 70 people voted in the electoral district. Corsi hopes to see 100 voters at the end of the day. 

In District 81, Aldersgate United Methodist Church, the voting manager Charlene Cunningham originally expected to see 900 votes at noon that day, but by 3:30 in the afternoon, about 450 residents voted.

She said people may not vote in the run-off because they were out or preparing to host families during the Thanksgiving holiday. But getting people to participate in polls more than once can also be a challenge, she said.

Cunningham said: "A lot of people feel discouraged when they have to participate in polls many times." 

 From morning to afternoon, Hinds County Sheriff Candidate Tyree Jones, who voted at Christ United Methodist Church in Precinct 46 on Tuesday morning, said that so far, he feels good about the day. 

Jones encourages residents to go out and vote because the morning turnout rate in some electoral districts is very low. 

"Just keep emphasizing the fact that people need to go out and vote. This is the most important thing. We need people to go out and vote and have opinions about who they want to see become the next Sheriff of Hinds County," Jones said. 

At approximately 1:30 pm, Hinds County Sheriff Candidate Marshand Crisler, currently serving as Interim Sheriff, voted at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Precinct 45. 

Krisler said he is very excited and hopes that voters are committed to selecting the most qualified candidates. He added that the position is about integrating policies, becoming a strong leader and using taxpayer money wisely, because the department is responsible for overseeing the $20 million budget.

"This is the highest law enforcement job in the county, but it (also) the largest sheriff's department in Mississippi," Krisler said. "This is largely an administrative position." 

Crisler also urged residents to vote to help solve Jackson's crime problem. 

Driving along Beasley Road and Hanging Moss Road, you can see signs showing Tyree Jones and Marshand Crisler waving slightly when they rushed in on Tuesday morning, reminding residents to take time to vote for the new sheriff and today during the second round of elections It's a police officer in District 5.

Standing at the entrance of Aldersgate United Methodist Church outside Beasley Road, a small group of supporters were tied together in the early morning chill for their favorite The candidate held up a sign, beckoning passersby to stop and vote. 

A small but stable population entered the polling station to vote. 

Charlene Cunningham, the voting manager of the 81 constituency, said that the start of the day was slow, slower than usual, with only about 20 residents stopping, and usually about 150 people were there to vote before going to work.

“Normally, there is only the flow of people,” Cunningham said, adding that there are approximately 1,200 registered voters in the electoral district.

She expects more residents to vote later in the day, but believes that the voting speed is slow because this is the second time people have voted for the sheriff. 

Wendelkin, 74, was one of the few people who stopped to vote before 8 o'clock in the morning. The retiree said that this election is important because the county has a high crime rate and needs people who can cooperate with other law enforcement agencies.

"I hope (yes) the detention center will be reorganized, it has been a mess for a long time," Jin said. "The prison is overcrowded. The sheriff can't do all this alone, he will have to cooperate with some other officials to try to solve this mess."
