In the November 2024 presidential election, Stone County reported voter turnout of approximately 60-65% of registered voters, reflecting strong engagement in the rural conservative county. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Blue Eye and Stone County voters will decide several important races: Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026, but Missouri's 7th Congressional District seat will be on the ballot. Missouri gubernatorial elections are held in presidential years (last in 2024), so no governor's race will appear in 2026. However, all Missouri House of Representatives seats (163 districts) are up for election every two years, so Blue Eye's state representative seat will be contested. Stone County will also elect various county offices including county commissioners (presiding and district commissioners serve staggered four-year terms), and depending on the cycle, positions such as county clerk, recorder, assessor, treasurer, prosecuting attorney, sheriff, coroner, and public administrator. Missouri allows absentee voting by mail for voters who meet specific criteria including absence from the jurisdiction on Election Day, incapacity or confinement due to illness or physical disability, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority, or incarceration with retained voting rights. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Stone County Clerk; applications are available online and must be received by the second Wednesday before an election for mail ballots.
