HB 1415 Summary

• Repeals and reenacts section 115.135 regarding voter registration deadlines and eligibility in Missouri.

• Expands voter registration deadline exceptions to include persons in federal service and covered voters (overseas voters), allowing them extended registration windows similar to interstate and intrastate residents.

• Requires voter registration applicants to present identification such as a birth certificate, tribal document, proof of U.S. citizenship, Missouri driver's license, or other personal identification.

• Permits military personnel and covered voters who separated from service, returned from deployment, or returned from employment outside the U.S. after the registration deadline to register in person until 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before the election, provided they submit documentation proving their qualifying status.
