Shane Schoeller, the Greene County Clerk, announced in a news release that “no-excuse” absentee voting will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 25.
Voters will not be required to disclose their reasoning for filling out their ballot absentee during this period of time ahead of election day, as determined by a new state law.
This no-excuse absentee voting opportunity will be available from Oct. 2 through Nov. 4, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Greene County Elections Center, located at 1126 N. Boonville Ave.
Voters will still be required to provide one of the following forms of identification:
- A nonexpired Missouri driver or non-driver license
- A nonexpired military ID, including a veteran’s ID card
- A nonexpired United States passport
- Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri that is either not expired or expired after the date of the most recent general election.
However, voting absentee prior to Oct. 25 will require one of many reasons detailed on the Secretary of State’s website.
