Update on early voting turnout in the St. Louis region
SUMMARY: One week remains until election day, and early voting is seeing a significant turnout. Chris Regnier reports from St. Louis County, where polls opened today at 8 AM for no-excuse absentee voting. Since last Tuesday, nearly 99,000 voters have participated, including over 20,000 who voted yesterday alone. St. Louis County officials predict that early voting numbers may exceed those from the 2020 election. Despite long lines and increased demand, election officials are prepared with extra staffing. Voters must bring a photo ID, as provisional ballots are not allowed during the early voting period, which runs until November 4.
