Early voting totals are way up in St. Louis County

One week into early voting in St Louis County, more people have already cast a ballot than in all of early voting four years ago, during the last midterm election. “Turnout has been strong,” says Eric Fey, the Democratic director of elections for St. Louis County. “We just don’t know what that means yet.” In […] Early voting in St Louis County has seen a surge in turnout, with over 60,000 ballots cast at the county's 21 early voting locations compared to the previous year's total of 56,000. However, Eric Fey, the Democratic director of elections for St. Louis County, said it is uncertain if this high turnout will increase or decrease. The most popular early voting location is the Buder library in St.Louis Hills, which has seen double as many votes as the next closest. High turnout could help efforts to stop Amendment 3, which seeks to again ban abortion. The city voted 82 percent in favor of abortion rights in 2024, by far the largest margin in the state.
