Hurley residents vote in Stone County elections for county officials including County Commissioners, Sheriff, Assessor, Clerk, Treasurer, Collector, Coroner, and Prosecuting Attorney, all of which are typically on the ballot in presidential election years. Voters also participate in state legislative elections for Missouri House and Senate districts, as well as statewide races for Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and other constitutional offices. To find their assigned polling place, Hurley residents can use the polling place lookup tool at www.sos.mo.gov/elections/pollingplacelookup or contact the Stone County Clerk. Missouri law makes certain election records publicly accessible, including voter registration lists (available for purchase by campaigns and researchers), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at www.mec.mo.gov), candidate filings and ballot access petitions, and precinct-level election results. In the November 2024 presidential election, Stone County reported voter turnout of approximately 65-70% of registered voters, consistent with rural Missouri counties in high-profile presidential races. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026 (the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November), Hurley and Stone County voters will decide several significant races. While Missouri's U.S. Senate seat is not up in 2026 (next in 2028), there will be elections for all Missouri House of Representatives seats (2-year terms) and approximately half of the Missouri Senate (4-year staggered terms). Stone County voters will also elect county officials whose terms expire in 2026, which may include the Presiding Commissioner, Sheriff, and other county offices depending on the election cycle. Missouri does not have a gubernatorial election in 2026, as the Governor serves four-year terms with the next election in 2028. Missouri offers absentee voting for registered voters who will be absent from their jurisdiction on election day, are incapacitated or confined due to illness, are caring for someone who is incapacitated, have religious beliefs or practices preventing voting in person, work as an election authority or at a polling place, or are incarcerated but still eligible to vote. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Stone County Clerk, with deadlines of 5:00 PM the second Wednesday before the election for mail ballots and in-person absentee voting available until 5:00 PM the day before the election. Missouri does not offer no-excuse mail-in voting; voters must meet one of the specified criteria to vote absentee.
