JEFFERSON CITY • More than 3 million Missourians will vote in Tuesday's election, if official estimates hold up.

Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan is predicting that 72 percent of Missouri’s 4.19 million registered voters will cast ballots next week.

“During my time in office, we’ve worked diligently with local election officials to ensure Missourians can have confidence in an election system that is fair, accurate and secure,” Carnahan said in a news release this afternoon. “I encourage all eligible Missourians to take the time to vote on Nov. 6 and make their voices heard.”

It remains to be seen whether the forecast, based on local turnout predictions from 116 local election officials across the state, will ring true on Election Day.
