Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Lone Jack and Jackson County voters will weigh in on several significant races. Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026, as both seats were contested most recently in 2022 and 2024. Voters will, however, elect statewide executive offices that may include Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and State Auditor depending on term cycles. All 163 seats in the Missouri House of Representatives will appear on the ballot, along with roughly half of the 34 Missouri Senate districts. At the Jackson County level, voters will elect the County Executive if the term expires, County Legislators for their district, county assessor positions, and potentially the county prosecutor depending on the election cycle. Local school board positions for the Lee's Summit R-VII School District and various special district offices may also be decided. Missouri offers absentee voting for voters meeting specific criteria: those absent from their jurisdiction on election day, individuals with incapacity or confinement due to illness or physical disability, voters with religious beliefs or practices that conflict with in-person voting, election authority employees, incarcerated individuals who retain voting rights, or participants in the state's address confidentiality program. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted to the Jackson County Election Board by mail or in person beginning six weeks before an election. Completed absentee ballots must arrive by 7:00 PM on election day. For in-person voting, Missouri has implemented photo ID requirements, accepting driver's licenses, non-driver licenses, military IDs, passports, and other government-issued photo identification.
