Glenallen, Missouri Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the Missouri Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/register, or by submitting a paper application to the Bollinger County Clerk. Missouri law requires registration at least 28 days before any election. Acceptable identification includes a Missouri driver's license, other government-issued photo ID, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or other government document showing name and address. As an unincorporated community, Glenallen has no municipal government and therefore no city elections for mayor or city council. Residents participate in county, state, and federal elections. At the Bollinger County level, voters elect a three-member County Commission along with the Bollinger County Clerk, Recorder of Deeds, Treasurer, Collector, Assessor, Coroner, Public Administrator, Prosecuting Attorney, and Sheriff. These positions typically run in staggered four-year terms during both presidential and midterm cycles. To locate their assigned polling place, residents can use the Missouri Voter Registration lookup at https://voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/portal/, entering their name and date of birth to view registration status, polling location, and sample ballots. Voter registration lists are public records available from the Bollinger County Clerk under Missouri law, though certain personal information is restricted. Campaign finance reports for candidates and committees are maintained by the Missouri Ethics Commission and searchable online at https://mec.mo.gov/. Candidate filing information and precinct-level election results are also public, available through both the Bollinger County Clerk and Secretary of State websites. State legislative races will include all 163 Missouri House of Representatives seats (elected to two-year terms) and approximately half of the 34 Missouri State Senate seats (elected to four-year staggered terms). County offices including some constitutional positions and the County Commission may also appear depending on the election cycle. Local school board positions for districts serving the community will likely be on the April 2026 municipal election ballot. Missouri voters can request absentee ballots for specific statutory reasons including absence from the county on Election Day, incapacity or confinement due to illness, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority, incarceration (but still eligible to vote), or certified participation in an address confidentiality program. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Bollinger County Clerk. Missouri also offers no-excuse absentee voting beginning two weeks before Election Day, when any registered voter may vote in person at the election authority's office without providing a reason. Vote-by-mail is available only for voters meeting absentee criteria. Applications can be downloaded from the Secretary of State's website or requested from the Bollinger County Clerk at (573) 238-1900.
