Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Missouri utilizes an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[1]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times
In Missouri, all polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time. Anyone in line when the polls close must be allowed to vote.[2]
Registration requirements
- Check your voter registration status here.
To vote in Missouri, one must be 18 years old, a United States citizen, and Missouri resident.[3] Individuals who are 17 years and six months old may pre-register to vote but cannot vote until they turn 18. An applicant may print an application, pick one up from a county clerk's office, or request that an application be mailed. They may also register in person at the office of their local election authority, at a driver's licensing office, at some state agencies, or at a library.[2] The completed application must be returned by mail. All returned applications must be postmarked by the fourth Wednesday before Election Day in order to be processed. An applicant may also register to vote online.[3]
Automatic registration
- See also: Automatic voter registration
Missouri does not practice automatic voter registration.[4]
Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Missouri has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.[5]
Same-day registration
- See also: Same-day voter registration
Missouri does not allow same-day voter registration.[6]
Residency requirements
To register to vote in Missouri, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify the length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible. Voters may file change-of-address forms after the registration deadline, up to and including Election Day, provided that they can present photo identification upon doing so.[7][3]
Verification of citizenship
Missouri does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.[3][8]
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[9] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. One state, Ohio, requires proof of citizenship only when registering to vote at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles facility. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The Missouri Secretary of State's office allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Missouri requires voters to present photo identification while voting.[10][2]
The following were accepted forms of identification as of November 2025. Click here for the Missouri Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

If a voter does not have an ID, he or she can obtain one for free at a Missouri Department of Revenue driver's license office. For more information, fill out this form, call 573-526-8683, or visit the Missouri Department of Revenue's website.
Early voting
Missouri permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.
Early voting allows citizens to cast their ballots in person at a polling place before an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting. Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire do not offer no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
A voter is eligible to vote absentee in an election if he or she cannot make it to the polls on Election Day for one of the following reasons:[12]
- The voter will be absent from his or her regular polling place on Election Day.
- The voter is incapacitated or confined due to illness or physical disability on Election Day. Additionally, an individual who is caring for an incapacitated person may vote absentee.
- The voter is unable to visit the polls for religious reasons.
- The voter is employed by an election authority at a location other than their polling place or is a first responder, health care worker, or a member of law enforcement.
- The voter is incarcerated but has retained voting qualifications.
- The voter is a certified participant in the address confidentiality program because of safety concerns.
To vote absentee, an application must be received by 5 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the election. If returned in person, the ballot must be submitted by 5 p.m. the day before the election. If submitted by mail, the ballot must be received by the close of polls on Election Day.[12][2]

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
