LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — Voters headed to the polling booths on Tuesday, Aug. 5 to decide on a wide range of county-level candidates as well as five proposed amendments to the Missouri Constitution.
Technically, the election was a primary for many positions, but some candidates faced only opposition within their own party: the winner of the Republican nomination for some meant winning the position by default.
Election results are below:
