Absentee voting begins today for Missouri’s August primary election

Missouri’s primary election season is in full swing. Voters can now request an absentee ballot from their local election office.

Some of the major races on the ballot include Missouri candidates running for governor, state treasurer, attorney general, secretary of state, U.S. Congressional seats and U.S. Senator. Several seats are also up for grabs in the Missouri House and Senate.

Ballot initiatives coming up for a vote on August 6th include asking voters whether Missouri childcare centers should be exempt from property taxes, and a redo vote about increased funding for the Kansas City Police Department.

To vote absentee in person at a local election office, a nonexpired driver or non-driver’s license, military ID, or passport is required.
