If Im a student or Im new in town, can I vote absentee in my old home in St. Joseph, Mo or Plano Texas or somewhere like that?
A Yes, but it’s a lot easier to register in Boone County, and to vote here. Our County Clerk is great, our county dedicates money to ensure well-run elections, our voting machines actually work, and any time you change your address within the county, after you register the first time, it’s just an easy online form to update your address. The easier it is for you to vote, the more likely it is you will actually get around to it. But if you really want to vote absentee, look at the next couple questions and apply them to your “home” district. And contact your “home” election official (often the county clerk) ASAP.
