Changes in Missouri's election law took effect on Aug. 28, 2022. The League is challenging several of the new restrictions in court. There is a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of new restrictions on soliciting voter registration and absentee ballots.

PHOTO ID

Voters must now show a government-issued photo ID to vote. Previously, voters had the option of using a student ID, voter registration card, or utility bill as identification to vote.

If you don't have a government-issued photo ID, call the Secretary of State's Voter ID Hotline (866-868-3245) for information on a free non-driver photo ID card. Warning! If you are a student and you get a free non-driver ID to vote in MO, this will void an out-of-state driver's license.

Recognizing that thousands of Missourians don't have an acceptable photo ID, several organizations are helping voters get the underlying documents needed.

To cast a regular ballot in person, voters must show:

• A non-expired Missouri driver's license or state ID card or one that expired after Nov. 5, 2024, or
• A U.S. passport or military ID that is non-expired or expired after the last election.

Without a government-issued photo ID, Missourians cannot take advantage of early in-person absentee voting

On Election Day, you can cast a provisional ballot that will count IF:

• You return to the polling place with an acceptable photo ID or
• Your signature matches one in your voter records
