With ballot issues for the November General Election still being settled, the Henry County Clerk’s office wanted to let voters know of dates and deadlines for the November election and ballots. Kelly Marriott, Elections Coordinator, with the Clerk’s office issued this statement about Absentee voting for November.
Due to the amount of calls and inquiries I am receiving I wanted to put some helpful information out there!

With all elections in Missouri, voters are required to show photo identification at the polls, including absentee polls. ID that is accepted is as follows:
A nonexpired Missouri driver or non-driver license;
A nonexpired military ID, including a veteran’s ID card;
A nonexpired United States passport; or
Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri which is either not expired or expired after the date of the most recent general election.
The little Voter ID cards I send you every two years will not be enough identification to vote those are simply to keep our voter rolls up to date and to provide you with information on where to vote, you must have one of the previous mentioned ID’s.
