How to Vote in Missouri

Missouri offers both excused and non-excused in-person early voting. This means you are able to vote early without an excuse, but the period for non-excused early voting may be shorter than the excused early voting period.

If you plan to vote during excused in-person voting, you must:
– Be absent on Election Day from the jurisdiction of the election authority in which such you are registered to vote
– Be incapacitated or confined due to illness or physical disability on election day, or be primarily responsible for the physical care of a person who is incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability and resides at the same address
– Have religious beliefs or practices that make absentee voting necessary
– Be employed as a first responder, a health care worker, a member of law enforcement, or an election authority (or by an election authority) at a location other than your polling place
– Be incarcerated, provided all qualifications for voting are retained
– Participate in (with certification) the address confidentiality program established under sections 589.660 to 589.681 because of safety concerns
