Reply to comment by GinWithJennifer in where to go to register to vote and to vote by GinWithJennifer

You can still vote at the location it tells you you can vote at, and if you were registered in greene county (not 100% of republic is greene county) you can vote at one of the "anyone registered in the county can vote here" places like the city utilities bus terminal and on campus somewhere (i forget). You just need an unexpired missouri ID.

>on campus

Like one of the schools? Where can I find a list of "anyone registered" places?

Also the registry website showed me options for green county like the county clerk and stuff so I assume I'm voting in Greene County. I'd much prefer to vote in Springfield but could maybe find s way to republic (the Lamborfeeties?)

I googled an article from last election. I forgot they are called "central polling locations. Here is a link to the article. I assume all of these places will be polling locations again. https://www.ksmu.org/2022-08-01/ahead-of-tuesdays-elections-greene-county-voters-can-find-their-polling-location-online

It was the Missouri state Davis-Harrington welcome Center on msu's campus.

You can also do no excuses in person absentee voting at the county clerks office right now. I'd forgotten all about that.

It's all free. Voting, voter registration, all those things. We went though a little thing called the Jim crow era and the poll tax, and we are pass that now. But anyways, walk into the greene county clerks office when they are open sometime this week and you can cast an absentee ballot, otherwise vote on election day at your polling place or one of the central polling places.

And where is the county clerk office and how can I trust them not to destroy or lose my ballot

Considering you hardly vote and don't seem to know hardly anything about any part of this process it's a little silly for you to question its integrity isn't it? Don't you have to know a little about something before you can really tell if it's working right? But anyways, Google it like everyone else.

The great thing about our country is every single person who maintains their civil rights has the ability to vote, whether they understand the process or not. There is no education or participation requirement to exercise our rights, but, given the widespread misinformation and illegal statements concerning voter integrity in this country in the last 6 years, it's understandable that some may feel hesitant about their rights.
