Register to vote!
Wednesday, Oct. 8, is the deadline for registering to vote in Missouri. If you recently changed your address or you’ve never voted before, this is your chance.
StudentVote.org can walk any U.S.-citizen student through the process.
Any Boone County voter can fill out a form online, print it out and mail it in by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Missouri voters can check their registration status in other counties online.
A message from Boone County Clerk Wendy Noren
“Any student who is a citizen of the U.S. and will be 18 years old on or before Nov. 4 is eligible to register to vote in Missouri regardless of your residency status with the University.
The deadline to register to vote is 5 p.m. Oct. 8.
I strongly recommend you register now so you receive verification from my office before the deadline.
If you want to vote at a polling place in Columbia on Election Day, you must register to vote in Boone County. You will need to provide your address in Columbia/Boone County on your voter registration application. If you want to register in another Missouri county, you will have to request an absentee ballot or go to that county on Election Day to vote.
If you want to register to vote in Missouri, use our Official Voter Registration link to complete, print and sign the Missouri Voter Registration Application that can be mailed to my office or delivered to the ASUM office in the basement of Brady Commons (Room AO22).
Using this link will speed your registration processing and reduce the chance for errors on your voter registration. Although many groups are collecting voter registration forms from students, using our Web site is the safest and most accurate way for you to make sure your application is received by the deadline. You are not registered to vote until my office has received a signed application. In past elections, some forms were never returned to my office and students were not allowed to vote.
If you already have completed a voter registration application: It is important that you go to our Web site to verify your status and update your address. It will allow you to check your voter status in Boone County and to update your address.
You must update your address if you have moved since you registered to vote. You may submit your address change online if you previously have registered to vote in Boone County.
To check your voter registration status in another Missouri county, use this link.
It is important to me, my staff and the University that you have a positive experience voting this year. Please make sure you take steps now to make that possible.”
