Previously, acceptable ID to vote included a voter ID card, student ID, recent utility bill, or driver’s license that had recently expired.

The League is reaching out to the Secretary of State for more information on voting registration restrictions and other voting law changes for the Nov. 8 election. Contact the office at league@lwvmissouri for a link to an Aug. 18 webinar: What voters and League members need to know.

Voters should check the expiration date on their driver’s license.
