Local Missouri Voting 1
Enter your information and your polling location will pop up. Below that, you can click for a map to your polling place. And below that, you can link to a sample of your very own ballot. This is where you will see what district you are in for both the U.S. and state representatives. For instance, I am U.S. District 3 and State District 61. This means I don’t get to vote for Lacy Clay for U.S. rep, and I can only vote for Chris Carter (or myself) as my state rep. (Yes, I am aware I actually can write in anyone.)
From this post on, I will address each race and hopefully amendment and proposition. When it comes to state and local levels, I have been known to vote for four different parties on one ballot. So I will not be advocating or refuting anything. I am simply going to collect links that will facilitate your own research. I may mention a particular stance if it is predominate in my research. It will all come down to the time I can spend on it, of course.
I hope you find this helpful or at least motivating. The presidential election is very important, but that’s no excuse to get into a voting booth and read the amendments for the first time or vote for a person because you like their name. Educate yourself! God Bless America!

You rock! I’ve had it on my to-do list to pull my sample ballot and make sure I’m educated on all the issues and candidates. It’ll probably come down to doing lots of research this weekend, but your posts will be my first stop for convenient links. Thanks!!

Thanks! I really hope it will be helpful. There’s nothing more important than educating ourselves. I feel strongly about it being our responsibility. So if I can help…
