Rush Hill voters are served by the Audrain County Clerk's Office, which administers all elections for the county. The office is located at 101 N. Jefferson Street, Suite 101, Mexico, MO 65265, phone (573) 473-5840, and election information is available at www.audraincountymo.us. Missouri residents can register to vote online at www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri, by mail, or in person at the County Clerk's office. The registration deadline is the fourth Wednesday prior to any election; Missouri requires voters to provide identification when voting. As an unincorporated community, Rush Hill does not hold municipal elections for mayor or city council, so residents vote only in county, state, and federal elections. Audrain County elections include county commission seats, county clerk, recorder of deeds, sheriff, assessor, and other countywide offices. Rush Hill residents are assigned to voting precincts based on their address; voters can look up their specific polling place, sample ballot, and precinct information using the online voter registration lookup tool at the Missouri Secretary of State's website (www.sos.mo.gov/elections) by entering their name and birth date. Missouri election records that are public include voter registration lists (available for purchase for election-related purposes), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at www.mec.mo.gov for the Missouri Ethics Commission), candidate filing information, and precinct-level election results published after each election. In the November 2024 general election, Audrain County reported approximately 56-58% voter turnout among registered voters, consistent with rural Missouri turnout in presidential election years. The next major election will be held on November 3, 2026, a midterm election year. Missouri voters will decide the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Josh Hawley (whose term expires in 2025, so this seat will not be on the 2026 ballot), but will vote for Missouri's other U.S. Senate seat (currently Eric Schmitt, term expiring 2029, not up in 2026). However, all of Missouri's eight U.S. House seats will be on the 2026 ballot; Rush Hill voters participate in Missouri's 6th Congressional District elections. State-level races in 2026 include all 163 Missouri House of Representatives seats (Rush Hill is in House District 4 or 5, depending on redistricting) and approximately half of the 34 Missouri Senate seats (even-numbered districts in 2026). Audrain County offices up for election in 2026 include various county positions depending on term schedules, which voters should confirm with the County Clerk closer to the election date. Missouri offers absentee voting for voters who are absent from their jurisdiction on Election Day, incapacitated or confined due to illness, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority, or incarceration but eligible to vote. Absentee ballot applications are available from the County Clerk's office or online through the Secretary of State; completed ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day.
