How do I get a copy of my Voter ID Card?

If you need a copy of your voter ID card there are several ways to request one:

Or, if you are unable to come in to pick your card up at the office, we can mail your Voter ID Card to you. 

  • Visit us at our main office (4407 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. KCMO 64130) any time Monday - Friday from 8 AM - 5 PM and we can print a copy of your Voter ID Card for you while you are at the office. 

Please Note: A Voter ID Card is currently NOT an acceptable form of ID for voting.  

 

How do I update my party affiliation?

While choosing a party affiliation is currently optional in Missouri, voters who would like to select a party affiliation to be recorded on their voter record may do so by completing this form and returning it to their local election authority.
