Don't walk into the voting booth unprepared.

Every election brings campaign advertisements, television commercials, mailers, social media posts, and opinions from every direction.

But there is only ONE official source that shows exactly what you will be voting on.

👉 Official Macon County Sample Ballots

The Macon County Clerk has posted the official Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, and Non-Partisan sample ballots for the August 4 Primary Election. Take a few minutes to review your ballot before Election Day so you know exactly what candidates and constitutional amendments will appear when you cast your vote.

Please Pay Special Attention to Constitutional Amendments 4 & 5

These two proposed constitutional amendments have generated significant debate across Missouri and could have long-term effects on how our state government operates and how Missouri raises tax revenue. Supporters and opponents have presented sharply different views, making it especially important for voters to read the ballot language themselves before deciding.


The publisher's of Macon Missouri Online are Senior Citizens & we obviously watch out for retirement age folks on fixed income .. The following message is important!

We encourage every Missouri voter to study Amendments 4 and 5 very carefully before voting. After reviewing the proposals, the facts seem to indicate that retirees & middle & low income citizens will be negatively impacted by almost all goods & services being taxed. We believe passing #4 & #5 could have significant NEGATIVE long-term consequences for Missouri taxpayers and for the state's system of constitutional governance.

Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with our position, we urge you to base your decision on the official ballot language rather than campaign advertisements or social media posts.

An informed voter is a prepared voter.

Election Day

Tuesday, August 4

Before heading to the polls, please take a few minutes to review your official sample ballot.

It's comforting to know that you folks are senior citizens like most of us and have our best interest in mind. We have needed senior citizen advocates for a long time.. Thank You

As senior citizens we should have earned the right to be informed by our city council members as to what is going on in our city. Since they have been elected we haven't heard a peep which everyone needs to remember next election
