Absentee ballots are available starting Tuesday, September 25, for eligible voters who won’t be able to vote at their regular polling place November 6.

According to Greene County Clerk Shane Schoeller, you can vote absentee at his office, 1126 N. Boonville, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until October 22 when hours will be extended to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through November 2.

The County Clerk’s Office will be open for absentee voting on two Saturdays:  October 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and November 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The deadline for casting an absentee ballot in person is 5 p.m. the day before the election.

Homebound or out of state voters may request an absentee ballot by mail, either handwritten or from a fillable form on the county clerk’s website.  The ballots must be voted, notarized, returned by mail and received in the clerk’s office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Questions about eligibility to cast a legal absentee ballot can be directed to Schoeller’s office at (417) 868-4060 or here.
