Carnahan

Secretary of State Robin Carnahan wants Missouri voters to know that, even if they have lost their home, they still have their right to vote.

With the registration deadline just a day away, Carnahan is trying to get the word out on what voters who have had their homes foreclosed on need to do to cast a ballot.

Carnahan passes along the following tips to any registered voter who has been forced to move, by foreclosure or other reasons:

• If an individual has relocated within an election authority’s jurisdiction, that person may file a “change of address” with the election authority up to and including Election Day and they may vote at a central polling place or at the polling place that serves his or her new address.
• If an individual has relocated and moved outside their previous election authority’s jurisdiction, they may complete a new voter registration application by the deadline so long as it is received or postmarked by Wednesday
• If an individual has relocated outside their election authority’s jurisdiction and updates their voter registration information after the Wednesday deadline, they may vote by absentee ballot for President, Vice-President, Congress and statewide elected officials, questions, propositions and amendments by contacting their local election authority. They won’t, however, be able to vote in legislative or municipal races.
