What is Early Voting?

Early voting allows you to vote before election day. Most states allow in-person early voting during a designated period of time before Election Day.

Early Voting in Missouri

Missouri does not have early voting but allows for in-person absentee voting, "which is when a voter requests, completes and signs an absentee ballot in a polling place. From the voter’s perspective, however, the experiences of early voting and in-person absentee voting are essentially the same."

  • "In most states, you do not need an excuse to vote early. In some states, you may need to request an absentee ballot to be able to vote early."
  • Check with your local and state election offices to determine:
    • Early voting places and their hours
    • Specifics for your area
  • In some states, you may need to check under absentee voting if there is no information listed for early voting.
