Roughly 40 Percent of Registered Missourians to Vote Tuesday

Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander is predicting just under 40 percent voter turnout for next Tuesday’s general election.

The 39.81 percent estimate is a compilation of the local turnout estimates submitted to Kander’s office by the election authorities in each county. If met, the figure accounts for 1.6 million votes to be cast.

In Greene County, clerk Richard Struckhoff expects turnout to be between 38 and 43 percent. That’s lower than the 2010 midterm election, when 46 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Struckhoff says over 2,100 absentee ballots have already been requested.

Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Unofficial results will be updated on the Missouri secretary of state’s website throughout election night.
