Voter registration
Missouri’s voter registration period has passed. To register to vote in future elections, visit Vote.gov.
Where is my polling place?
All registered Boone County voters can vote at Hearnes Center on Tuesday, Nov. 8. To find your Boone County polling place, visit www.showmeboone.com/clerk/elections and click on “Where Do I Vote?”
I am a faculty/staff member at Mizzou. Do I get time off to vote?
All university employees may receive time off with pay for the purpose of voting.
What identification do I need to bring to vote?
You will need to show a Missouri or federal-issued photo ID with an expiration date to vote in person. Examples of acceptable forms of identification can be found on the Missouri Secretary of State’s website. If you don’t have an acceptable ID, you can still cast a blue provisional ballot, which will count if the signature on the ballot envelope matches the signature on your voter registration record or if you return to your polling place on Election Day with an acceptable photo ID.
Where can I find my sample ballot?
Enter your address at Missouri’s Voter Outreach Center.

Polling place rule reminder
Missouri election law prohibits wearing political apparel to the polls, advocating for a candidate or issue within 25 feet of a polling place or taking photos of ballots.
Leave your political masks, T-shirts, buttons and other apparel at home. You can snap a photo of your “I voted” sticker instead of your ballot.
