If you’ve never voted before, or if you’ve relocated and are voting in a new state, you can register here. We’re working with Vote.org to make this as easy as possible for you, so don’t fuck it up.

Registered before? Double-check your registration to make sure your registration is still valid.

Sadly, no. So do it now! Then reward yourself with a cookie.

For an election that occurs during the year 2020, a voter who has contracted or is in an at-risk category for contracting or transmitting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) are permitted to request an absentee ballot. Voters who are considered at-risk for contracting or transmitting COVID-19 are those who: Are 65 years of age or older; Live in a long-term care facility licensed under Chapter 198, RSMo.; Have chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma; Have serious heart conditions; Are immunocompromised; Have diabetes; Have chronic kidney disease and are undergoing dialysis; or Have liver disease. Requests for mail-in ballots must be received by October 21st, but we recommend requesting as early as possible. Voters requesting a mail-in ballot by mail who have registered by mail and have not voted in person are required to submit a copy of their personal identification unless they provided a copy with their registration application.

Different states have different request rules, so use this tool to get your request form (even if you don’t have a printer!)

You’ve probably heard that USPS will be handling a high volume of mail and will likely be experiencing delays. That’s why we recommend mailing your ballot by October 20th at the latest if you plan on sending your ballot through USPS. When filling out your ballot, make sure to double-check the instructions to make sure you fill out the ballot correctly. Check to see if your ballot requires using a pen with black or blue ink, a signature on the envelope, any witness requirements and postage, if necessary. Missouri requires mail-in ballots must be returned by mail in the provided envelope, with the statement on the envelope signed and witnessed by a notary. Learn about alternative return options below.

Mail-in ballots must be received by the election authority at or before the time fixed by law for the closing of the polls on Election Day (7:00 p.m.).

Mail-in ballots must be returned by mail in the provided envelope, with the statement on the envelope signed and witnessed by a notary.

If you mail, fax or email your ballot, you can confirm that your ballot was received by your local election authority by contacting the office at elections@sos.mo.gov or (866) 868-3245.

It depends. Some states will still allow you to vote in person if you bring your vote-by-mail ballot to your polling place so that they can invalidate the mail ballot and count your in-person ballot instead. Do not mail a ballot and also vote in person. Check with your state’s election office here to learn what specific rules apply in your state.

If you’ve requested your ballot, but you still haven’t received it at least 14 days before the election, check with the election authorities to make sure your ballot was mailed at elections@sos.mo.gov or (866) 868-3245. If you still don’t receive it before Election Day, you can cast a provisional ballot at your polling place. Do not mail a ballot and also vote in person. The earlier that you request your ballot, the less of a chance you won’t receive it in time.

Missouri does not permit early voting.

If you are voting on Election Day, wear a mask and keep an appropriate social distance from fellow voters. If you are in line before polls close, do not leave. You legally must be permitted to vote. If you witness any incidents of voter suppression, contact 1-833-DEM-VOTE (1-833-336-8683).

Yes, a driver's license, Missouri document with your name, or a military ID all work. If you don't have those, you can sign a statement affirming your identity along with a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government document.
