“Traffic at polling places varies depending on the time of day. Obviously, there are some times, like after 5 o’ clock, the after work crowd, you can anticipate polls being a little busier then and maybe even over the lunch break,” says Fleming.

Polls will be open Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“What’s really critical is to know that if you’re are in line by 7 p.m., you are entitled to cast a ballot. So it’s just important that you get to your polling place by 7 p.m.,” says Fleming.

Fleming says voting requirements have not changed for Tuesday’s primary election.

“Voters can use those voter cards they receive from their local election authority, they can use a utility bill, they can use a bank statement, you can also use your driver’s license or a student ID from any Missouri institute of higher education,” says Fleming.

A ballot issue that will be in November’s general election will ask Missourians if they want voting requirements to change.

Information about voting requirements, candidates and polling places is available at www.govotemissouri.com

Local election authorities project about 1.2 million Missourians, or 31%, to vote in Tuesday’s primary election.
