UPCOMING SPECIAL ELECTIONS
- No special elections
scheduled at this time.
PRIMARIES:
August primary elections are for political parties to nominate their general election candidates. Missourians don’t register by party, but you must choose one party’s ballot when voting in the primary, or choose to vote an "issues only" ballot (which will not include ANY candidates).
GENERAL ELECTIONS:
General Elections are those in which you elect candidates to offices. The general election is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS:
When you cast a ballot for President and Vice-President, you are voting for Presidential electors. The electors whose candidates get the most votes go on to cast their electoral votes through the Electoral College, which elects the President and the Vice-President.
