Are You Registered to Vote? Are You Sure?

On Tuesday, August 4, all Missourians will have the chance to vote Yes On 2 to expand Medicaid and deliver healthcare coverage to more than 230,000 Missourians.

In the midst of a global pandemic that is disproportionately impacting Black St. Louisans – including Black moms and babies – we now have the chance to deliver healthcare to Missourians who earn less than $18,000 a year.

In order to join this cause, you must register to vote by July 8.

How to register

In order to register to vote, Missourians must submit a completed voter registration application to their local election authority. This can be done online, by mail, or in person.

On the Missouri Secretary of State website, a voter can find the options to register to vote online or download the form to print and mail. The form MUST be postmarked by July 8.

A voter may also register in person at one of the following locations:

  • The office of their local election authority
  • At a drivers licensing office while applying for or renewing a driver’s license
  • At a designated state agency while the applicant is obtaining services from the agency. Examples of state agencies providing registration applications to their clients include Division of Family Services, Military Recruitment, or WIC.
  • A library

When registering in person, applicants are required to present a form of personal identification.

Within 7 days of receiving your registration, the election authority should mail verification that your registration has been received and processed. If you do not receive this verification, you should contact your local election authority to ensure that you are indeed registered to vote. You will receive your identification card after voting for the first time.

Check Your Registration

Even if you have already registered to vote at your existing address and voted in the past, it is important to make sure that you are still registered to vote. Don’t just assume you are registered. Take a few seconds right now to check your voter registration, so you do not miss the opportunity to Vote Yes on 2.
