Register to Vote

Overview

In order to vote in Missouri, you must be registered with the election authority in the county in which you are a resident.

If you moved to the City from another part of the state, you'll have to re-register with your new address.

Preparation

   • You are a U.S. citizen and a Missouri resident.

   • You have an acceptable form of identification.
2. Verify your current voter registration status in one of the following ways:
   • Visit the Missouri Secretary of State website and verify that you are a registered voter in Missouri, or
   • Call the Board of Election Commissioners at (314) 622-4336 Monday through Friday and staff will help you confirm your voter registration status.
   • Search the Inactive Voter List database and see if you are listed. If listed, you'll have to re-register with your current address.
