Who is eligible to vote in Missouri?

In Missouri, the eligibility to vote is specifically defined to include U.S. citizens who are residents of the state and at least 18 years old. This requirement ensures that voters have reached the legal voting age as established by both state and federal law, which is 18. Additionally, being a U.S. citizen and a resident reinforces the principle that only individuals who have a vested interest in the local community and governance can participate in elections.

The other choices highlight aspects that are not aligned with Missouri's voting eligibility criteria. For instance, the age specification in those options does not match the legal voting age, and the notion of property ownership is outdated and not a requirement for voting in Missouri. Voter accessibility is intentionally designed to be more inclusive, focusing on citizenship and residency rather than outdated restrictions based on property ownership or younger age limits.
