MISSOURI, USA — The Missouri Democratic Party has announced in-person voting sites for the party-run presidential primary election scheduled for Saturday.
Democrats will hold presidential preference elections statewide from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 23.
Saturday’s primary is the Missouri Democratic Party’s first party-run presidential contest since the law took effect in August 2022. The event is not an Iowa-style caucus, where participants vote by moving around the room to form candidate preference groups and deliberate with other caucusgoers. Missouri voters will show up at a voting center, cast a secret ballot and leave as soon as they have turned in that ballot.
The party designated a total of 13 sites for counties in the metro St. Louis area, including four each in St. Louis City and St. Louis County.
