A change of venue and voting on changes are themes Tuesday morning during the first hours of the Primary Election. 

According to the Buchanan County Clerk’s Office, because of construction work and some security issues at the Missouri National Guard Armory location, the polling place was moved. Locations in that area include Our Lady of Guadalupe at 4503 Frederick Avenue, Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church at 5502 Frederick Avenue and Bible Baptist Temple at 5401 Mitchell Avenue. 

County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey is predicting a voter turnout of around 28%. Members of the Eastside Lion’s Club working at the Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church location said so far this morning, voter turnout has been better than previous years. 

Polling places are open until 7 p.m.
