Like many states in the US, Missouri restores voting rights for felons once they have completed their prison sentence as well as the requirements for probation and parole. You can find back-up information to this effect by clicking on this link.

Felon Voting Law in Missouri

According to the Secretary of State’s website in Missouri, felons are able to vote upon completion of their sentence and parole or probation. However, if you were convicted of an election offense, whether it was a misdemeanor or felony, you are barred from the electoral process. If you do not have a voter identification card or photo ID, you can present another form of ID at the voting booth. These forms of ID include –

· An ID issued by the state, an agency of the state or an area election state authority

· An ID issued by an agency of the US or the US government

· An ID issued by an institution of higher learning in Missouri, such as a college, university, or technical and vocational school

· A state ID or driver’s license issued by another state

Any of the above supporting documents will enable you to gain entry into a polling place or cast a ballot on election day.

How a Felon in Missouri Can Restore Their Voting Rights

After a felon has served his full sentence, including parole or probation (plus any costs for restitution), he can regain his right to vote. To vote or to be eligible to vote, a felon must be –

· A US citizen and resident of the state of Missouri

· 17 ½ years old, or 18 years old by the scheduled election day

· Registered to vote in the area where he lives

· Discharged fully from his prison sentence

· Discharged from probation or parole

· Considered mentally competent

Again, felons who have been convicted or a misdemeanor or felony that is connected to the electoral process are barred from voting in the state for life. In order to obtain further information about registration and voting in the state, click on the following link.
