Absentee Voting Has Opened For April 4th Elections

(MISSOURINET) – Absentee voting has opened for Missouri’s local elections in April. Some of the items voters could see on their ballot include school board elections, bond issues, water and fire district board races, as well as a three-percent local sales tax on adult-use marijuana purchases. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft says voters are required to give a valid reason for voting absentee until two weeks prior to the election.

To vote absentee by mail, contact your local election office. To avoid any mail snafus, Ashcroft encourages Missouri voters to cast an absentee ballot in-person if possible. To vote absentee without an excuse, that option is available two weeks leading up to Election Day.
