In order to register to vote, Missourians must submit a completed voter registration application to their local election authority. This can be done in person or by mail.

A voter may register in person at one of the following locations:

• The office of their local election authority
• At a drivers licensing office while applying for or renewing a driver's license
• At a designated state agency while the applicant is obtaining services from the agency. Examples of state agencies providing registration applications to their clients include Division of Family Services, Military Recruitment, or WIC.

When registering in person, applicants are required to present a form of personal identification. A voter can also register to vote by mail by completing a post card voter registration application. You can request a voter registration application from the local election authority or from our website.

Within 7 days of receiving your registration, the election authority should mail verification that your registration has been received and processed. If you do not receive this verification, you should contact your local election authority to ensure that you are indeed registered to vote. The verification is not the same as your voter identification card. You will not receive a voter identification card until you have voted in an election following your mail-in registration and provided proper identification at the polling place.

In order to be registered to vote in an election, you need to be registered by 5:00 p.m., or the normal close of business of any public building where registration is allowed, whichever is later, on the fourth Wednesday prior to the election. If registering by mail, your voter registration must be postmarked on the fourth Wednesday prior to the election. If you register after such time, you are registered to vote in subsequent elections.

You may look up whether or not you are currently registered to vote at the Voter Information Lookup online. You may also contact your local election authority.

You will need to present one form of personal identification as required by state law.

If you are registered to vote, you may be able to find your polling place at our Voter Information Lookup.

You can only vote at your assigned polling place or, if there is a problem at your assigned polling place, you may be eligible to vote at the central polling place. Verifying your assigned polling place with your local election authority prior will help to eliminate potential Election Day complications.

Polling places open at 6:00 a.m. and remain open until 7:00 p.m. Those individuals arriving after the polling place has closed will not be allowed to vote. However, those individuals in line at 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

In order to register to vote, an individual must be:

1. A citizen of the United States;
2. A resident of the State of Missouri; and
3. 17 years and 6 months of age (must be 18 by Election Day).

If an individual meets these requirements, they are entitled to register to vote. To be entitled to vote, a person:

1. Must be registered to vote in the jurisdiction of the person's domicile prior to the election;
2. Cannot be imprisoned;
3. Cannot be on probation or parole after conviction of a felony;
4. Cannot have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor connected to voting; and
5. Cannot have been declared incapacitated.

If your name does not appear on the poll book and you are eligible to vote, you may be entitled to vote a provisional ballot. Every effort will be made to determine your eligibility and your correct polling place so that you can cast a regular ballot. If it can be determined that you are at the wrong polling place, you will be directed to the correct or central polling place to cast a regular ballot.
