Voter ID Option 2: If a voter does not possess a valid government-issued photo identification from the state of Missouri or federal government, as specified in the law, the voter can present the following forms of ID to check into vote.
The voter will need to then show one of the following forms of personal identification:
- Voter registration card
- ID from a university, college, vocational, or technical school located in Missouri
- Current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document containing their name and address
Voter ID Option 3: If the voter has a valid government-issued photo identification from the state of Missouri or federal government and failed to bring it with them when they check into vote, at their assigned polling location, they then have the option to cast a provisional ballot.
- The voter then has the option to return to the polls during voting hours and present a valid Missouri or United States government-issued photo identification and their voted ballot will count.
- If the voter is unable to return to his/her polling location with his/her photo identification during voting hours on election day, then his/her signature on the provisional ballot envelope will be compared to his/her signature on his/her voter registration record kept by the office. If the signatures match, his/her voted ballot will be counted.
