Polls opened at 6 a.m. Tuesday and will remain open until 7 p.m. Anyone who is in line when the polls close will still be allowed to vote. Voters must report to their assigned polling location unless election officials direct them to a designated central polling site.
Missouri voters may request a Republican, Democratic or Libertarian ballot during the primary. Those who do not want a political party ballot may request an issues-only ballot when local or statewide measures are available in their jurisdiction.
The ballot includes federal, state and county races, along with four statewide measures and several local issues that vary by community. Winners of the partisan primary races will advance to the November 3 general election.
Voters are encouraged to verify their polling location before leaving home because voting sites may change between elections. Polling locations, voter-registration information and sample ballots can be found through the Missouri Secretary of State’s voter information system or by contacting the voter’s local county clerk or election authority.
Missouri voters should bring an acceptable form of photo identification, including a nonexpired Missouri driver’s license or nondriver identification card, a military identification card, a United States passport or another qualifying photo ID issued by Missouri or the federal government. Some recently expired IDs may also be accepted.
Registered voters who do not have an acceptable photo ID may cast a provisional ballot. The ballot may be counted if the voter returns with acceptable identification before polls close or if election officials verify that the signature matches the voter’s registration record.
Voters who need assistance because of a disability may request help from election workers. Accessible voting equipment and curbside voting are also available at polling locations.
