HB 2736 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Allows for same-day voter registration

HB 2736 eliminates Missouri's pre-election voter registration deadline, allowing eligible residents to register and vote on Election Day itself. The bill directly affects Missouri voters who missed the traditional registration deadline (the fourth Wednesday before an election), enabling them to register at their polling place or designated registration locations up until the polls close. Key provisions require voters to provide acceptable ID (like a driver's license or birth certificate) at the time of registration and confirm residency. This change does not alter eligibility requirements (e.g., citizenship, age, residency) but removes the prior deadline for registration. The bill applies to all elections where voter registration is required, except as specified in federal law or other existing sections.
