Missouri touts 67% voter turnout, successful election day

Jefferson City, Mo. — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, in his capacity as the chief election authority for Missouri, gave praise to election officials, poll workers and the millions of Missouri voters who helped make Election Day a success.

“Missouri continues to be a model for accurate, secure and accessible elections,” Ashcroft said. “I want to start by thanking our local election authorities and the thousands of poll workers who showed up and made it possible for the people of Missouri to vote – another successful election. There were only minor issues reported at polling locations and no reports of delays in voting caused by photo ID or other requirements.”

With just over 4.4 million registered Missouri voters, totals show approximately 67% cast a ballot in this election. Unofficial 2024 general election results can be viewed at enr.sos.mo.gov. Military and overseas ballots, if postmarked by election day and received by noon on Friday, November 8, will be added to the unofficial results. According to statute (RSMo 115.511.2) the secretary of state’s office will certify results not later than December 10.

“Though the election itself was a success, I am deeply saddened by the untimely deaths of two of our longtime poll workers on Election Day,” Ashcroft said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.”
