August 5, 2025 Special Election

City of Nixa District I and Ozark School are the only two items on the ballot for the August Special Election. We have combined Nixa Library, High Pointe Elementary, & Summit Intermediate into a central location at the Nixa JR. High. Letters will be sent if your location has moved for this election. All Ozark School voters locations are staying the same as usual.

Voters that normally vote at the Nixa JR. High will have a Non-Election. 

Please go to Sample Ballot page to confirm if you have an election or not.

Register to Vote

The County Clerk is responsible for all voter registration activities in the county. There are more than 55,000 people registered to vote in Christian County. Several locations are designated as permanent voter registration sites, including schools, libraries, OTC, city halls, and the Historic Courthouse (Room 304).

Please be advised that any time a voter moves from STATE to STATE, the voter will need to re-register to vote in their new state of residence.

If a voter is ACTIVE/INACTIVE in another county in Missouri and moves to a new residence located in another county in the state of Missouri, the voter will need to update their registration with their new county, preferably before election day.

The deadline to register to vote prior to any given election is 28 days. Voting in a county or precinct therein that does not represent your current residence on election day is a violation of Missouri statute and is prosecutable by law.

The County Clerk is the election authority for the county and its political subdivisions, and is responsible for conducting all public elections. Regular elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in April, August and November. Special elections may also be called in February or June by certain public entities. Two notices displaying sample ballots and polling locations are published in the local newspaper on the two Wednesdays just prior to each election.
