Absentee voting for the November 5th General Election begins Tuesday, September 24th.   For the first four weeks of the six week absentee voting period, voters who provide a valid reason may cast a ballot either: a) in-person, in the County Clerk’s office; or b) by mail.

During the last two weeks prior to the election, voters may cast a ballot in-person without needing to provide a reason (“no excuse” or ‘early voting’).

To apply to receive an absentee ballot by mail, voters must send an application to the County Clerk’s office.  Applications may be obtained by clicking HERE or by calling 417-859-VOTE(8683).

On Friday morning, the Verification Board convened and conducted a sample hand-count of votes cast at Tuesday’s Primary Election – and certified the Official Results shortly after Noon.

Thank you to all the election judges and others who made the election a success!

By order of the Governor, State & County offices will be closed on Friday, July 5th in an additional observance of the Independence Day holiday.  This includes: courts, road department, and administrative offices.

Until then, we hope everyone enjoys a great holiday!

Turnout was light, due in part to the number of unopposed candidates (and other factors).

The results will not be certified until Friday at noon.

Thank you!

In 2024, Missouri is going to try something new.  Instead of hosting a Presidential Preference Primary Election (as we have since the mid-1990s), the State has formally handed off responsibility to the state’s political party committees.

Pursuant to Section 115.776, the state political parties are to establish their own procedures for the selection of the convention delegates who ultimately decide upon the candidates for U.S. President.

Each will follow a separate process, on different dates.  At this time, many of those details are still undetermined.  However, this is the best information we have to date:

Republican Party:  The Republican Central Committee in each County will be hosting a “caucus” at 10am on Saturday, March 2, 2024.  Participants will be required to present a photo ID.  For more information, see: https://missouri.gop/missouri-gop-2024-caucus/.

Democratic Party: The Missouri Democratic Party will host their own half-day primary election in each county from 8am until Noon on Saturday, March 23, 2024.  Mail-in ballots may be submitted, but must be requested on or before March 12 and returned by 10am on March 23.  For more information, see: https://www.missouridemocrats.org/delegate-selection

Libertarian Party: The Missouri Libertarian will host a statewide convention, to be held on February 24, 2024 in St. Louis.  For more information, see: https://lpmo.org/2024-lpmo-state-convention/

Finally, more details about the process in general can be found on the Missouri Secretary of State’s website: https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/candidates/contact-parties

Thank you.
