On Aug. 3, Boone County voters will have the opportunity to vote in various primary races.

Races for federal, state and county elected positions, which can be reviewed in the Missourian’s Voters Guide, will be on the ballot. Also on the ballot is Proposition C, a measure to exempt Missourians from participating in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The Associated Press reports that officials expect 24 percent statewide turnout in Tuesday’s primary – approximately 1 million ballots. The article reports that this number is higher than Missouri’s 2008 primary election voter turnout, which was 18 percent.

Boone County voters can check their registration and polling location here. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
