Absentee voting in Buchanan County will take place Feb. 20 leading up to the General Municipal Election on April 2.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- On Aug. 18, President Trump announced on Truth Social his plan to end mail-in ballots.

The process of voting by mail has been around since the 1980s and has gained more popularity ever since the COVID-19 pandemic. This popularity has been viewed with skepticism due to prior election results and the potential for fraud.

This push for the end of mail-in voting would also have a massive impact on key demographics such as elderly and disabled people.

A change would impact states like Oregon, Washington and Colorado, which are all mail-in voting states.

News-Press NOW will update this story.
