SB 1199 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies voting qualifications

This bill updates Missouri's voting laws to allow citizens who are at least 17 years and six months old to register and vote once they turn 18. It clarifies that people convicted of felonies can vote while on probation or parole, but they remain barred from voting if they are currently serving a prison sentence. Additionally, the law permanently disqualifies individuals from voting if they are convicted of a felony or misdemeanor related to voting rights, and it maintains the requirement that voters must be registered before the deadline. These changes take effect on January 1, 2025.
