HB 1573 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Allows for 3 weeks of no-excuse absentee voting

HB 1573 expands absentee voting access by allowing any registered voter in the state to request an absentee ballot without providing a reason for voting by mail during a three-week period before elections. This change applies to all candidates and issues for which the voter is eligible to vote at their polling place. Voters must still provide photo ID when requesting the ballot, and specific ballot submission rules (like notarization requirements for certain ballots) remain in place. The bill directly affects all registered voters who choose to vote absentee without needing to justify their absence from polling places on election day.
