Absentee ballots for our Military and Overseas voters are available 46 days before an election.

You may request an absentee ballot by:

Military and Overseas Portal: The Missouri Secretary of State hosts the Military and Overseas Voter Access Portal for Missouri voters. You may use this portal to register to vote, request, and receive an absentee ballot if you are a military or overseas voter or their family. If you are a member of the military in a combat zone, hostile fire or imminent danger areas, you will be able to receive, mark and return your ballot using the portal. https://movotesportal.sos.mo.gov

FVAP: FVAP works to ensure Service members, their eligible family members, and overseas citizens are aware of their right to vote and have the tools and resources to successfully do so – from anywhere in the world. Using the FPCA (Federal Post Card Application), you will choose whether to have your ballot emailed, faxed, or mailed.  https://www.fvap.gov/

County Clerk’s Office: Relatives within the second degree may complete an absentee ballot application, in person at our office, for the eligible voter wishing to vote absentee.

Returning Your Ballot: Most voters are required to return their ballot and accompanying absentee affidavit by mail; postage is not required if you are mailing your ballot from an APO/FPO mail facility, U.S. embassy or consulate, or U.S. post office. You must use the prepaid return envelope template PDF file to receive free postage.

If you are serving in a hostile zone PDF file such as Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kosovo, you may return your voted ballot and the affidavit using one of these methods: FAX, EMAIL or through the Military and Overseas Voting Access Portal.

Absentee ballots must be received by your local election authority no later than 12:00 p.m. CST on the Friday following the election.
