GET THE FACTS AND EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE

If I move, do I need to register again?

Yes, if you move, you need to change your address by completing a new Voter Registration Application and noting the address change. You can mail the application to the county where you now reside and they will notify the previous county where you voted. Also, you do need to change your address if you moved within the same county, as your polling location may have changed. You also need to re-register if you have a name change.

How do I know where I vote?

Once you complete your voter registration application and mail it in, you will receive your voter registration card. Your polling location where you vote will be indicated on the voter registration card.

I have registered, but I have not received my voter registration card. What do I do?

If you have not received your voter registration card before election day, you can call the County Clerk where you are registered and ask them why you have not received your card. They can tell you where you need to go to vote.

I have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor, can I register to vote?

Citizens living in Missouri must register in order to vote. Any U.S. citizen 17 years and 6 months of age or older, if a Missouri resident may register and vote except:

• A person who is adjudged incapacitated
• A person who is confined under sentence of imprisonment
• A person who is on probation or parole after conviction of a felony until finally discharged
• A person after conviction of a felony or misdemeanor connected with the right of suffrage (RSMo 115.133) (I.E. a person that has had a conviction for tampering with elections or it’s procedures)
• After a person has fully completed their obligation with the state or federal government and are no longer on parole, they may simply fill out a registration card to vote. (This applies to Kansas and Missouri)

Do I have to register by party affiliation (as a Democrat, Republican, etc.)?

Missourians do not register by party affiliation. However, in Kansas, you may chose whether to register by party affiliation or not.
