Comprehensive Voter Guide for Both Ray and Clay Counties

As part of a continued effort to help educate citizens on what will appear before them on the ballot, this week we are offering a look at the ballot for our Ray County Excelsiorites. We have also included a collective of what we feel may be helpful resources for all in the lead up to election day. Check out our previous coverage, including the Clay County sample ballot and a look at the Constitutional Amendments that will be on the ballot, too.

What Will You Need To Bring When You Vote

If you are voting in person, you will need a photo ID that is unexpired and issued by one of the following entities:
• driver’s license or non-driver’s license issued by the state of Missouri
• Non-expired U.S. Military or military veteran’s ID
• Non-expired U.S. passport
• Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri which is not expired

If you have difficulty acquiring an acceptable form of photo ID, VoteRiders is a non-partisan organization that is dedicated to helping people secure their voter ID.
