COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Boone County Clerk's Office is preparing for the final days of absentee voting in the county.

The Boone County Government Center is scheduled to be open on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m. and Monday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In a tweet, the Boone County Clerk said 945 people voted absentee on Thursday.

That same tweet is also reminding voters to state their reason for voting absentee and to bring a valid ID.

Those who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are currently quarantined also have the opportunity to cast absentee ballots Saturday and Sunday.

The Boone County Clerk's Office will be offering the service at the Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services.

Voting will be open on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon said the county also has teams of bi-partisan election judges who will go to voters' homes if they are sent to isolation before 5 p.m. on Nov. 2.

You can check your sample ballot or find your polling location on the Boone County Clerk's website.
