What's on your federal ballot

For specific candidates and updates, visit your state's official election office (opens in new tab).

U.S. House: All 8 of Missouri's House seats are on the ballot.

Missouri redrew its congressional district map for 2026, so your district may have changed. Verify your new district at your state's election office.

Last updated: May 3, 2026. Race information changes as candidates file and primaries finalize. Always verify with your state's election office for the most current information.

── What to bring

Missouri requires photo ID.

Provisional ballot if no ID.

Bring one of these

  • Driver's license or state-issued non-driver ID
  • U.S. passport or passport card
  • Military or veteran ID
  • Tribal enrollment card
  • Concealed carry permit (in some states)

Lists vary by state. Missouri's full accepted-ID list is on its election authority site.

No ID? You can still vote. Sign an affidavit/declaration form at the polling site and your ballot still counts. Don't let anyone turn you away.

── Registration

No same-day registration. Register before the deadline.

Not registered yet? Register at vote.gov (opens in new tab). It's the federal government's portal and routes you to Missouri's election authority.
