Missouri Job Centers helping with voter registration

Nov. 15—Any Missouri resident interested in registering to vote can now do so at any Missouri Job Center across the state.

Residents can use Job Center resources to access an electronic voter registration application on the Missouri secretary of state's website or receive and fill out a paper application in person. Anyone who has moved or changed their name can also fill out an application at a Job Center.
