Make sure your vote counts this November by following these simple steps:

1. Check That You're Registered to Vote

Think of voter registration like a library card, and even if you got one years ago, it's worth checking that it's still active and that your address is up to date, especially if you've moved or changed your name.

It only takes a minute to check your status online:

Missouri:

Kansas:

3. Make Voting Easier with Absentee Voting

You CAN have your ballots mailed to you, or you can vote early! 

Missouri and Kansas offer a few ways to vote by mail or ahead of time.

Check deadlines for registering and mailing ballots; click here: Kansas or Missouri.

•  No-excuse in-person absentee voting: Starting two weeks before Election Day, you can vote early in person at your local election office AND no reason is needed.
• Mail-in absentee ballot: If illness, disability, or travel on Election Day would keep you from the polls, you can request a ballot by mail.
• The Permanently Disabled Voter list: If you have an ongoing illness or disability, you can ask your local election authority to place you on this list. Think of it like setting up autopay for a bill. Once you're signed up, you're automatically mailed an absentee ballot application before every election, so you don't have to remember to request one each time.

4. Don't Let the Confusing News About District Maps Distract You (Missouri Residents)

You may have seen news stories about confusion over Missouri's congressional district maps. That's a legal matter being sorted out by the courts, and it will get resolved.

Please don't let that confusion keep you from taking the simple steps above because your voice is just as important this year as ever.

It does not change where you can register, whether you can vote absentee, because your vote matters.
