Wednesday, Oct. 9 is the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 5 general election.

To register to vote in Missouri, a resident must be a U.S. citizen who will be at least 18 years old on Election Day. Prospective voters who have not already registered can do so by visiting their county clerk’s office during regular business hours. They can also visit the Missouri Secretary of State’s website and either submit an online application or print and mail an application. Any applications submitted by mail must also be postmarked by Oct. 9.

Missouri residents wanting to check their registration status can also visit the Secretary of State’s website or call their county clerk’s office.
