Roby residents vote and register through the Texas County Clerk's Office, which serves as the county's official election authority. The office is located at 201 North Grand Avenue, Suite 202, Houston, MO 65483, and can be reached at (417) 967-2112. The office's website, accessible through the county site at https://txcountymo.net, provides voter information, sample ballots, and election results. Missouri voters can register online through the Missouri Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri, or by submitting a paper registration form available at the County Clerk's office, public libraries, and motor vehicle licensing offices. Registration must be completed by the fourth Wednesday prior to any election (typically 28 days before Election Day). Voters must provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering and present photo identification when voting in person; acceptable IDs include a Missouri driver's license, non-driver license, U.S. passport, military ID, or other government-issued photo ID. Roby, being an unincorporated community, does not hold its own municipal elections for mayor or city council, so residents participate in county, state, and federal elections only. Texas County residents vote for county offices including Sheriff, Assessor, Collector, Clerk, Prosecuting Attorney, Coroner, and County Commissioners on a rotating schedule. Polling place assignments for Roby voters are determined by precinct and can be looked up using the Missouri Secretary of State's polling place locator at https://voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/PRD/VoterOutreach/VOSearch.aspx by entering a residential address. Election records that are public in Missouri include voter registration lists (available for purchase by candidates and political organizations), campaign finance reports filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission (searchable at https://mec.mo.gov), candidate filings, precinct-level election results, and absentee ballot statistics. In the November 2024 presidential election, Texas County saw approximately 60-65% voter turnout, consistent with rural Missouri counties, with strong support for Republican candidates typical of the region. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Roby and Texas County voters will decide several important races. No U.S. Senate seat from Missouri is scheduled for election in 2026 (Missouri's Senate seats are up in 2024 and 2028), but voters will likely decide state legislative races for the Missouri House of Representatives (all 163 seats elected every two years) and potentially Missouri State Senate (half the 34 seats on rotating four-year terms). The 2026 ballot will not include the Missouri Governor's race, as the governor serves a four-year term with the next election in 2024. County-level offices on the ballot may include Sheriff, Assessor, Collector, Coroner, or other positions depending on term expiration schedules. Missouri allows absentee voting for any registered voter; applications for absentee ballots must be submitted to the Texas County Clerk by mail or in person, with the deadline typically the second Wednesday prior to the election. Absentee ballots can be cast by mail (must be received by Election Day) or in person at the County Clerk's office during a designated early voting period.
