Cape Girardeau County Clerk’s Office to Mail New Voter Identification Cards

Cape Girardeau County, Missouri – The Cape Girardeau County Clerk’s Office will mail new 2022-23 Voter Identification Cards to Cape Girardeau County registered voters within the next few days in conjunction with canvassing the voter rolls as required by state and federal laws. The 5 ½ inch by 8 ½ inch identification cards are perforated to fold to wallet size.

The new identification card replaces all previously issued cards and lists your name, address, polling place, precinct, and the units of government in which you are entitled to vote. Please carefully check your address and spelling of your name on the card and contact the County Clerk’s Office if there are errors. If you have moved or changed your name you must update your voter registration record.

With the delay of the 2020 Census and redistricting of legislative districts, the new Voter Identification Cards will not list voters’ new legislative districts. Once new districts are finalized, voters will be notified if their legislative districts have changed.

Registered voters in Cape Girardeau County who do not receive a new Voter Identification Card by the end of March should contact the County Clerk’s Office at (573)243-3547.

For any questions or media inquiries, please contact Allen Seabaugh or Kara Clark Summers at (573)243-3547 or amseabaugh@capecounty.us.
