JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, in his capacity as the chief election authority for Missouri, gave praise to those individuals working in over 2,200 polling locations across the state.
“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,” Ashcroft said. “And I want to thank those who made their voices heard.”
Of the roughly 4.3 million registered Missouri voters, totals show only about 25% cast a ballot. Unofficial 2024 primary election results can be viewed at enr.sos.mo.gov. The secretary of state’s office will certify results not later than August 27.
“Elections are the bedrock of our republic and Missouri continues to be a national leader in election integrity. We have safe, accurate, accessible elections with timely results. That’s not something every state can boast,” said Ashcroft. “Voting is not only a right, but also a responsibility and I’m proud of the accomplishments we have made to secure Missouri elections; like requiring a photo ID.”
The deadline to register for the November 2024 general election is October 9. Contact your local election authority or visit GoVoteMissouri.com.
