Cape Girardeau County Clerk’s Office to Mail Voter Cards as Required by Law 3/30/2026

Cape Girardeau County, Missouri – The Cape Girardeau County Clerk’s Office will mail 2026 Voter Identification Cards to registered voters within the next few days.

These cards are mailed every two years to canvass voter registration records, as required by Missouri law. If you receive a card for someone who no longer resides at your address, please mark it “Return to Sender” and place it back in the mailbox.

The new card replaces all previously issued cards and includes the voter’s name, address, polling place, voting precinct, and the jurisdictions in which the voter is eligible to vote. Voters who have moved or changed their name must update their voter registration record.

“Keeping voter information accurate is an important part of maintaining secure and efficient elections,” said County Clerk Kara Clark Summers. “We encourage all voters to review their card and notify our office of any updates.”

A photo identification issued by the United States or the State of Missouri is required to vote. A qualified voter who does not have a valid photo ID may cast a provisional ballot.
