Voter Registration 

100 Years of Registering Voters

For 100 years, the League of Women Voters has been registering voters to make sure all citizens have an opportunity for their voices to be heard at the ballot box.

The League concentrates registration drives at locations that reach a large number of unregistered voters, including high schools and colleges, transit hubs and naturalization ceremonies.

If your organization would like to have League volunteers come to an event to register voters, click on the link below and complete the form.

Restoration of Voting Rights

Learn how to Restore your Voting Rights: If you have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor and you have been discharged from supervision, you may have your voting rights restored. 


If you are on supervision solely for a Suspended Impositions of Sentence (SIS), you are already able to vote because an SIS is not considered a conviction.  In Missouri, upon completion of a sentence, probation and/or parole, you are eligible to have your voting rights restored as long as your conviction was not associated with voting rights offenses.

To restore this right, you will need to have an official Letter of Discharge or other appropriate documentation from the Department of Corrections, and have updated your voter registration or completed a new registration application form.

You may register to vote at your Board of Election or County Clerk's office, the DMV or by mail.  Be sure to take the appropriate documentation with you when you visit any of these offices for the purpose of restoring your voting rights. 

Be Choosy About the Initiative Petitions You  Sign - Think Before You Ink

READ- Read the petition to understand what it is. 
- Initiative titles can sound like something you support, but in fact may not always give a full picture of what the initiative would do.
ASK- Ask the signature collector to tell you more about what this initative will do.
- If you are still unclear, don't sign until you can get more information.
THINK- Think about whether or not this is something you support before you sign the petition to get it on the ballot.
