Deadline nears to register to vote for the Aug. 4 General Primary Election

Greene County Clerk Shane Schoeller is reminding Greene County residents who are not registered to vote that they have until Wednesday, July 8 to register, in order to be eligible for the August General Primary Election on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
Voters can register or update their voter registration record, in person, at the County Clerk’s office in the Historic Courthouse at 940 North Boonville, Room 113 or at any of the local Springfield-Greene County Library branches, throughout Greene County. Mail-in registrations will also be accepted if they are postmarked by Wednesday, July 8, and can be found at: https://greenecountymo.gov/files/PDF/file.pdf?id=9615.
When registering to vote, residents should be sure to bring along an acceptable form of identification, such as a valid driver’s license, current utility bill, or bank statement.
Under state and federal laws, registered voters are not prevented from voting for moving within a county, but a change of residency for a voter’s registration address must be completed in writing on or before the day of the election.
Any registered voter who desires to vote in this election will be able to choose only one certified ballot, for one of the following political parties: Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Constitution or Green. Voters cast these primary ballots to select the candidates for statewide and local offices to represent their respective party in the upcoming Nov. 3 General Election. Issues-only ballots are available for one statewide issue and one local issue.
The sample Aug. 4 ballots in Greene County are available in the Greene County Clerk’s Office, 940 North Boonville, Room 113 and also available online at: https://www.greenecountymo.gov/county_clerk/election/absentee.php.
