Aging Ahead encourages everyone to get out and vote. Here is a quick guide outlining ways and days that you can vote in the general election as well as some other useful information.
1. Vote In-Person on Election Day–
· Primary Election: Aug 6 Registration Deadline is July 10
· General Election: November 5, Registration Deadline is Oct 9
2. Early In-Person Voting –
· Primary Election: Begins July 23 General Election: Begins October 22
· You can vote in-person at your local election authority beginning two weeks before the election. You do not need to fill out an absentee ballot. Check with your local election office for business hours.
3. Absentee Voting –
· You need a reason to cast an absentee ballot (some examples: outside of jurisdiction on election day, illness, disability, religious conflict, working at election location or as a first responder, etc.). Apply for an absentee ballot by mail or in-person. The deadline to submit the absentee ballot application is two weeks prior to election day. You may vote with the absentee ballot beginning six weeks before the election date. Absentee ballots may be delivered in-person with a Voter ID. Ballots that are mailed in require notarization (with the exception of incapacity or confinement due to illness or physical disability). Ballots must be received by 7:00 pm on election day.
4. Permanently Disabled List—
· This is a great option (and simple process) for those who face difficulties voting in-person (standing, etc) Please request to be put on the permanently disabled list by contacting your county election office. Once you are on this list, you will be mailed an absentee ballot application prior to each election. When you are on this list your ballot does not need to be notarized. Check your voter registration status and polling place at sos.mo.gov/elections.
