October 12 is the last day to register to vote in the November 8
election. If you have moved or have had
a name change, a visit to the polling place may take longer than
anticipated. In order to expedite your
ability to vote, please notify the county clerk's office located in the
courthouse if you have moved or had a name change.
Voters are allowed to vote at one election under the old name
without changing their voter registration after notifying the election judges
of the name change. If you have moved to
a different address within the same county, you are permitted to change your
registration address on Election Day at your new polling place. It is recommended that you contact the county
clerk with any address changes prior to Election Day in order to determine your
assigned polling place.
In order to change your address if you move outside the boundaries
of the election jurisdiction in which you were previously registered, you will
need to fill out a new voter registration application. Voter registration is available in the county
clerk's office or online at www.sos.mo.gov/elections.
If you moved before the deadline to register for an election, you
must complete your new registration prior to the registration deadline in order
to be eligible to vote a full ballot in your new jurisdiction. If you moved
after the registration deadline, you will be entitled to vote a limited ballot,
containing only federal and statewide candidates and issues once you submit a
completed voter registration application in person with the local election
authority. People moving from one election jurisdiction to another prior to the
registration deadline who fail to register to vote by the registration deadline
will not be able to vote in that particular election.
If you moved to Missouri after the deadline to register for a
presidential election, you are entitled to register and vote only a
presidential and vice presidential ballot in your new jurisdiction.
