Voter Registration

Missouri does not require that you live in the state any length of time as many states do, so you can register as soon as you move in. You must be at least 17½ years of age, a citizen of the United States, and will turn 18 by the next election. You will need to have confirming identification, such as a driver’s license and you Social Security number.

Registration sites are available at such public agencies as the License Bureau, Department of Social Services, Department of Labor, the County Clerk’s Office, and the Cape Girardeau Public Library. You can register at the License Bureau (112 South Spanish) while you are getting new license plates. You may register by mail by obtaining registration forms from one of the above sites or by requesting a form from the County Clerk’s Office.

For more information, call the County Clerk’s Voter Registration Office at 573-335-9060 or visit them at the Common Please Courthouse Annex, 44 North Lorimier.
