ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Absentee voting for the April 8 General Municipal Election begins Tuesday in St. Louis County.
Residents can start casting absentee ballots in person at the St. Louis County Board of Elections office starting Tuesday morning. Additionally, voters can request absentee ballots by mail.
The upcoming election will include various local races across different municipalities. A significant issue on the ballot countywide is Proposition B, which, if passed, would allow the St. Louis County Council to fire department heads with five affirmative votes from council members.
Absentee ballots can be cast in person from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the election board headquarters, located at 725 Northwest Plaza Drive. Voters have until the close of business on March 26 to request absentee ballots by mail.
To vote absentee before March 25, voters must meet one of six criteria, such as being out of St. Louis County on election day, being incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability, or being restricted by religious beliefs or practices.
No-excuse absentee voting, which allows any voter to cast a ballot early without providing a reason, will begin on March 25 in St. Louis County. This form of early voting is already underway in the City of St. Louis for the March 4 primary, which includes the mayoral race.
With absentee voting now open, St. Louis County residents have multiple options to participate in the upcoming election, ensuring their voices are heard on important local issues like Proposition B.
