What do you need to vote?

Registered voters need to present one type of identification from this list:

  • ID issued by the federal government, state of Missouri or a local election authority. This could include a drivers' license or passport.
  • ID issued by a Missouri public or private institution of higher education, including a university, college, vocational or technical school.
  • A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check or other government document that contains the name and address of the voter.
  • Driver's license or state identification card issued by another state.

Even if you do not have one of these types of identification, you may still cast a ballot if two supervising election judges—one from each major political party—attest they know you.

What's the weather going to be like?

On Election Day, a 30 percent chance of showers. The National Weather Service predicts it will be cloudy, with a high near 50 with light and variable wind becoming southwest 8 to 13 mph in the morning.
