PRIMARY ELECTIONS: What was your home county's turnout? (MAP)
About 22 percent of Missouri voters cast ballots in yesterday's primary elections, in spite of high temperatures, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan said in a press release this morning.
Carnahan said approximately 938,782 of the state's 4.1 million registered voters went to the polls yesterday. Turnout was mixed between counties, as shown by a map of county turnouts and results available here.
That proportion was lower than the 24 percent Carnahan's office had predicted before the election. Boone County saw a slightly lower turnout, with 18.37 percent of registered voters casting ballots at local polls.
The highest turnout reported in Missouri was in Dade County, in Southwest Missouri, with an estimated turnout of 45.2%. Dade County also had the highest turnout in the 2008 Primary Election.
