Two weeks before the general election are reminders for Missouri voters from Nodaway County county clerk Melinda Patton.

Tuesday (October 20) is the first day voters in Missouri can vote absentee without a reason.
In Nodaway County, that means for the first time, going to the conference room across the hallway from the county clerk's office.
As of Monday (October 19) in Nodaway County there were 310 requests for absentee ballots. There have also been 140 walk in absentee voters in Nodaway County and 106 ballots that have been returned. Wednesday (October 21) is the last day for Missouri voters to request an absentee ballot by mail.
Patton also shares an election scam about paper ballots. The ballot is not disqualified, as the scam claims, because election judges initial the ballot. The initials are required by Missouri law.
If your voter information is not up to date, that can be changed before election day by going to the county clerk's office or the Missouri secretary of state's website.
And while Missouri state law requires issuing voter identification cards, that is not an acceptable form of I.D. when you vote. Those options are available at the county clerk's office and the secretary of state's website.
