Missouri Voter Registrations Soar In 2020; Here's How To Sign Up Before Wednesday Deadline

Missourians have until this Wednesday, Oct. 7, to register to vote in the November election.

State residents who are eligible to vote but haven’t registered yet can apply online or print out an application from the Missouri Secretary of State’s website. Mailed applications must be postmarked by Oct. 7. People can also register in person at local election authority offices, public libraries and Department of Motor Vehicles locations.

The deadline approaches during a wave of national and regional campaigns to mobilize voters that has included AARP printing special editions of its magazines for senior citizens and NFL players launching registration drives in their communities.

Election authorities in Missouri say the campaigns have been successful in motivating people to register to vote ahead of the presidential election in November. As of Friday, about 133,000 more Missourians had registered to vote than around that time in 2016, according to data from the Secretary of State’s office.
