#UMSLVotes

Deadline:  Missouri law requires that requests for absentee ballots must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday prior to Election Day if the ballot is mailed. The deadline for absentee voting in person, in the Office of the Election Authority, your absentee ballot needs to be received by 7 pm on Election Day (when polls close).

If you would prefer a paper form, you can access that online.

You can visit your local election authority and complete an absentee application. Receive your ballot and cast it at that time.

For ballots you requested via mail, email, or fax, you will receive them via mail and must return via mail or in-person by 7 pm on Election Day (when polls close).

Some absentee ballots need to be notarized. Must be notarized, if the reason for your absentee is:

• Religious beliefs or practice
• Working as an election worker
• Incarceration, if still eligible to vote
• Absence on Election Day from your election jurisdiction
• Certified participation in an address confidentiality program
