Hermann, Missouri Public Records

Voters need to provide their Missouri driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. The city holds municipal elections for Mayor and Board of Aldermen positions, operating under a Mayor-Alderman form of government with the Mayor elected to two-year terms and Aldermen elected from two wards. Municipal elections typically occur on the first Tuesday in April during odd-numbered years, with the next Hermann municipal election scheduled for April 2025. Candidates for city offices file declarations of candidacy with the Hermann City Clerk. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the voter information lookup tool at voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov, which requires entering name and date of birth. Missouri public election records include voter registration lists (available with restrictions), campaign finance reports filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission (searchable at mec.mo.gov), candidate financial disclosure statements, precinct-level election results published by the Secretary of State and County Clerk, and ballot measure language and results - all publicly accessible. Missouri voters can request absentee ballots for specific reasons including absence from the jurisdiction, incapacity or confinement due to illness, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority, or incarceration (if otherwise qualified). Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Gasconade County Clerk by mail (received by 5:00 p.m. The second Wednesday before election day) or in person (by 5:00 p.m. The day before the election). Missouri also offers no-excuse absentee voting beginning two weeks before an election for in-person voting at the election authority's office.
