DECEMBER 17, 2024

Jefferson City — Today, Missouri's Electoral College Members met in the Missouri State Capitol to cast their votes for President and Vice President of the United States. Each of Missouri's ten electors cast their votes unanimously for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

"All Missourians can be confident in the legitimacy of their vote and take pride in the security of our elections here in Missouri," said Governor Parson. "I want to thank all those involved in our elections, including poll workers, electors, county clerks, and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft's Office, for working hard to ensure the will of Missouri voters was heard during our November 5 General Election."

Prior to the meeting, Governor Parson signed the Certificates of Ascertainment certifying an abstract of votes cast during the General Election certified to him from each county in the state of Missouri and certifying that each of Missouri’s electors received votes qualifying them to vote in the Electoral College. These certificates were signed on December 9, attested to by the Secretary of State, and transmitted to the Archivist of the United States.

The meeting of the Electoral College was conducted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Missouri's members of the Electoral College met in a public meeting in the Senate Lounge at the Missouri State Capitol to cast their votes. The meeting officially began at 2:00 p.m. and was presided over by Office of Administration Commissioner Ken Zellers. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft announced the official vote. Members of the media and public were also in attendance.
