No Excuse Absentee Voting Continues for Missouri August 4 Primary

No-excuse absentee voting continues across Missouri for the August 4 primary election.

The option allows registered voters in Taney, Stone and other Missouri counties to vote early in person without providing one of the state’s traditional absentee excuses.

The no-excuse period begins two weeks before Election Day. Voters must appear in person at their local election authority or another authorized early-voting location established by the county.

No application is required for in-person no-excuse absentee voting. Voters should bring an acceptable Missouri photo identification document and confirm local office hours before traveling.

The primary ballot includes contested local, state and congressional races. Missouri voters will also consider four proposed statewide constitutional amendments during the August election.

The in-person absentee period continues through Monday, August 3 at the Stone County Courthouse in Galena and the Taney County Courthouse in Forsyth. Regular polling locations will open for Election Day voting on Tuesday, August 4, with voters required to use the polling place assigned to their registered address unless local authorities announce otherwise.
