Cast your vote 
To vote in the Board of Governors election, Missouri Bar members must complete an electronic ballot, which the Office of State Courts Administrator emailed July 18. You must sign in to the electronic elections portal using your Missouri Bar enrollment number and personal identification number (PIN). 

Lawyers are eligible to vote in the board election based on the district their primary work address corresponds with (and that is on file with The Missouri Bar). You can cast as many votes as there are vacancies in your district.  

Missouri lawyers have until Aug. 15 to cast their votes.

The Board of Governors is a 45-member elected group of lawyers who represent the members in their districts. The board helps shape strategies to fulfill the bar’s goals of improving the profession, the law, and the administration of justice on behalf of all Missourians.
