Summary

For a three‑week window before each election, any registered Missouri voter may obtain an absentee ballot without stating a reason, provided they present a personal photo ID. Most absentee ballots still require a notarized envelope, except those requested due to incapacity or incarceration. The measure aims to make voting more accessible for all voters.
