Vote in the Primary Election on August 6


As a Missouri REALTOR®, the upcoming primary election on August 6th presents an opportunity for you to make your voice heard. These local primary elections hold significant implications for both the state and our industry at large. Voting in the primary election isn't just about selecting candidates. It's about safeguarding the American Dream of homeownership.

Why Your Vote Matters

Primary elections lay the groundwork for the general elections, determining which candidates will be on the ballot in November. These candidates will shape policies that directly impact real estate transactions, taxation, property management, and more. By voting in the primary, you help ensure that the candidates who prioritize real estate issues advance to the general election.

Supporting REALTOR® Party Candidates

Navigating the politics of real estate can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the REALTOR® Party is here to help guide you. There is an abundance of resources available to help you identify and support candidates who understand and advocate for the real estate industry's unique needs. At the end of the day, REALTOR® Party candidates are those who care about what you care about: the real estate transaction process, fair housing, infrastructure, and economic development.

Research and Advocacy Tools

The Missouri REALTORS® General Policies Guide is a critical tool at your disposal. This guide outlines the legislative and regulatory policies that our Board of Directors is committed to protecting. By comparing these guidelines to the platforms of candidates on your ballot, you can make informed decisions that align with your professional and personal interests.

Be an Informed Voter

But don't stop at the resources we provide. Conduct your own research to become a well-informed voter. Establish a voting plan and commit to it. Your vote is your voice, and it’s a powerful tool to advocate for issues that affect your family, friends, business, and the future of the real estate industry.

The Power of a Unified Voice

And remember, REALTORS® are strongest when we speak with one voice. By voting in the primary election on August 6th, you contribute to a unified effort to support and elect candidates who will champion the real estate industry. So, speak up this August. Your vote matters, and together, we can make a real difference.
