Missouri Voters Can Preview August Primary Ballots Online

Missouri’s August 4 primary election less than a month away, voters can now review the exact ballot they will receive at the polls based on their precinct.

The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office at sos.mo.gov, provides an online voter information system that allows residents to check their registration status, confirm their polling place and preview sample ballots before Election Day. The system shows ballots by precinct and includes Republican, Democratic, Libertarian and nonpartisan options.

To access the information, voters must enter basic identifying details through the state’s voter lookup system. Once verified, they can review the races and issues that will appear on their individual ballot.

Several statewide constitutional amendments are also set to appear on the August ballot. The measures include a proposed 10-year renewal of the one-tenth of one percent sales and use tax for soil and water conservation, state parks and historic sites; a proposal requiring all charter counties, including Jackson County, to elect county assessors; changes to the initiative petition process; and a proposed phaseout of Missouri’s individual income tax tied to revenue growth.

Election officials encourage voters to check their registration, review their ballot and confirm their polling location ahead of the primary to avoid delays or confusion on Election Day.
