In order to register to vote in the state, you must be a U.S. citizen, 18 on Election Day and a Missouri resident.

Time to register to vote in the November election in Missouri is running out.

In Missouri, you must apply to vote by the fourth Wednesday before the election, which is this Wednesday, Oct. 9. You can submit voter registration applications in a variety of ways: online, by mail, in person at your county clerk’s office or a motor vehicles license office.

Submitting by mail? Wednesday is the postmark deadline — not the date the application needs to be received.

You can check to see if you’re already registered — and at the correct address — on the secretary of state’s website.

Registrants must be U.S. citizens, Missouri residents and 18 years old by Election Day, Nov. 5.

Wednesday is also Illinois’ deadline to register by mail, but residents there can also register online by Oct. 20 or on Election Day at some polling places.

Find out more information on the issues and candidates you’ll be voting on in November by reading St. Louis Public Radio’s election coverage.
