Register to vote: If you are not already registered to vote or need to change your address or name, here is information about registering:

General information about elections and voter registration is available at this link: Boone County Clerk

• Only voters registered in Boone County by the 4th Wednesday prior to an election are eligible to vote in that election. That advisory is for anyone who has not registered to vote in Boone County for a prior election. If you have moved, you will need to update  your voter registration.
• To initiate the voter registration process online or update your address, use the Voter Registration Form.  Filling out the online form will just generate a PDF that you still have to print, sign and mail (until/unless the process is made fully online), but it is still best if you register this way, instead of filling out a printed registration card, because it eliminates a lot of handwriting-related and other unnecessary errors.
• Boone County Clerk Voter Registration Q&A
• If you enter your name and birthday information in the section “Check your voter registration” on the Boone County Clerk’s website, you will find a list of your elected officials.

Information from the Secretary of State – Required ID’s to Vote: https://www.sos.mo.gov/voterid

ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF VOTER ID Show one of the forms of acceptable identification and sign the poll book to obtain your ballot:

• A nonexpired Missouri driver or non-driver license;
• A nonexpired military ID, including a veteran’s ID card;
• A nonexpired United States passport; or
• Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri which is either not expired or expired after the date of the most recent general election.

*If the driver or non-driver license has expired after the most recent general election, it is an acceptable form of voter ID.

If you do not possess any of these forms of identification, but are a registered voter, you may cast a provisional ballot.

Your provisional ballot will count if: (1) you return to your polling place on Election Day with a photo ID; or (2) the signature on your provisional ballot envelope is determined by your local election authority to match the signature on your voter registration record. If you cast a provisional ballot, you will receive a stub from your provisional ballot envelope with instructions on how to verify that your provisional ballot is counted.

If you do not have an ID, the Secretary of State can help:

If you do not possess an acceptable form of photo ID, you might be eligible for a free Missouri nondriver license for voting purposes.
