Why Voting Matters

In Miller County, the people who show up to vote decide who represents everyone. The next election for Miller County voters is Missouri's state primary on August 8, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. With retail and manufacturing among the county's biggest employers, issues like local businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.

Miller County voters cast about 13,000 ballots for president in 2024, up about 5% from 12,400 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 20,000 adult residents, that works out to about 65%, above the statewide rate of about 61%.

That means roughly 7,040 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Miller County would add about 352 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
