Secretary of State Denny Hoskins said turnout could hit 32% of registered voters as two ballot measures draw nearly $40 million in spending.
- Missouri election officials expect as many as 1.4 million voters to cast ballots on Tuesday, continuing a historic trend of high primary turnout driven by major ballot questions rather than candidate races.

- Secretary of State Hoskins predicts a 32% turnout, potentially the highest primary total since 2004, while noting that 7.5% of ballots cast this year are non-partisan, compared to 0.8% in 2024.
