Missouri Rules for Poll Watchers

With the president’s call for poll watchers it is very important to know what role they can play and what rules they must abide by.  Poll watchers are covered under Missouri Election Laws, Chapter 115 of the Missouri Secretary of State’s page. 

Poll Watchers must be registered to vote in the jurisdiction they will be watching.  The chair of the county committee for each political party named on the ballot has the right to designate a challenger for each polling place.  The Poll Watcher may be present during the hours of voting to witness the votes taking place but can not advocate for a political candidate, display any political paraphernalia, or interfere with the election judges.   Challenges may only be made when the challenger believes the election laws of this state have been or will be violated, each challenger shall report any such belief to the election judges, or to the election authority if not satisfied with the decision of the election judges.

Poll Watchers, just like Election Judges and voters all need to know their rights and obey all state laws.
