How do I request an absentee ballot in Missouri?
You must apply to vote by absentee ballot and you must provide a reason for wanting to do so. These are the allowable reasons for absentee voting:
You are out of your jurisdiction and unable to get to your polling place
You are unable to get to the polls due to caregiving
You are unable to get to the polls due to incapacity, illness, or disability
You are unable to get to the polls due to your religious beliefs or practices
You are unable to get to the polls due to your employment as an election official
You are unable to get to the polls because you are incarcerated but still eligible to vote
You are a participant in the address confidentiality program
To apply for an absentee ballot, you can request it in person or have someone pick it up for you at the office of your local election authority. Or you can download the Request for Missouri Absentee Ballot Form. Complete the form and return it in person, by fax, by mail, or by delivery to your local election authority.
If you are requesting an absentee ballot by mail and have registered by mail but never voted in person, you must submit a copy of your personal identification (unless you provided a copy with your voter registration application).
If you are a military member or are living overseas, use the FVAP website to request an absentee ballot.
What special accommodations are available?
Every Missouri polling place has at least one handicapped-accessible voting machine with an audio ballot option and an on-screen ballot with the ability to enlarge text. If you cannot read or write, are visually impaired, or have difficulty marking a ballot, you can bring someone with you to help you vote. You can also as a poll worker for assistance.
If you have limited mobility and difficulty accessing the polling place, you can ask for a ballot to be brought to your car so you can vote “curbside." You can also request to receive an absentee ballot to vote by mail.
