Thanks for the links. I filled out my Missouri form on Vote.org and will print it out. Just so you know, our ballots don’t need to be MAILED by 13 days before Election Day but RECEIVED by then!
Actually, they need to be received by 5 pm on or before November 3. So mailing them 13 days before should be ample time. At least that’s true in St. Louis City and County! But I’m glad I mailed mine in early October.
