Tuesday will be the first election day of 2019 in Missouri.

Polls for this municipal election will be open 6 a.m.-7 p.m. Voters in line at 7 p.m. are still eligible to vote.

If you don't live in a municipality such as Fulton, Holts Summit, Kingdom City, New Bloomfield or Auxvasse, or a school district with board candidates on the ballot, you will not be voting Tuesday.

The Secretary of State's election night reporting is available at enr.sos.mo.gov and will be updated throughout the night as results are reported by local election authorities. They can also check the Callaway County Clerk's website: callawaycountyclerk.com (click "Elections" tab).

Although polls close at 7 p.m., the first results reported to the Secretary of State's office usually occur after 8 p.m.

Missouri voters may check their voter registration and polling place, as provided by local election authorities, at s1.sos.mo.gov/elections/voterlookup/.

Voters are encouraged to report any registration or voting problems to their local election officials or to the Secretary of State's office by calling 866-868-3245. In Callaway County, call the clerk's office at 573-642-0730.
