CRC, Shaare Emeth offer notary services for absentee ballots

Congregation Shaare Emeth offered free drive-through notary services in advance of the primary election in August. The congregation is again offering the service on eight days in October in advance of the Nov. 3 election. 

Volunteer notaries at Central Reform Congregation and Congregation Shaare Emeth will mask up once again to welcome anyone, free of charge, who needs their Missouri ballot notarized in advance of the Nov. 3 election. Notarization is required for most ballots if a voter is under the age of 65.

Additional opportunities are being offered across the street from CRC, at the Unitarian Church Parking lot, from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays during the month of October.
