How do I vote?
There are three ways to make your voice heard with your ballot!

- Grab an acceptable form of ID.
- You may cast a provisional ballot is you do not have an ID with you. A signature match will determine if the vote counts
- Arrive between 6am and 7pm on Election Day
- You are entitled to 3 hours of paid leave to vote if your working hours do not allow 3 consecutive hours when the polls are open before or after work. Time off must be requested before election day and your employer may choose which hours you can take off. (Source: Missouri Law)

What is on my ballot?
The non-partisan Voters Guide that the League prepares includes candidate responses to our questionnaire and our summaries of ballot propositions. It appears in the Sunday Post-Dispatch about two weeks before the election, and print copies are also available at selected sites around our service area. In addition, the same information is presented online on the U.S. League's vote411 website, where you input your address and see the personalized candidates and ballot issues that you will have an opportunity to vote on. You can access this tool easily in the left column of this website.

You also may see opportunities to attend or view online candidate forums that local sponsors invite us to conduct. You also might encounter a League Speakers Bureau presentation where you can learn more about voting and issues.
