For his first election as Cole County clerk, Steve Korsmeyer said things couldn't have gone smoother.
Korsmeyer said few issues arose during Tuesday's municipal elections, which saw a voter turnout of 19 percent, one percent lower than the prediction Korsmeyer came out with last week.
The unofficial results show out of 47,237 registered voters in the county, 8,978 cast a ballot.
"I learned a lot," he said. "There's a lot of work that goes on before an election takes place and to have a good turnout is a great feeling."
Korsmeyer credited the work of the election judges for keeping the election running smoothly.
Unless there is a special election, this is the only election that will take place this year in Cole County. Korsmeyer said the April election was a good test to get he and his staff ready for a busy 2016 election cycle.
"We got 10 percent more than what we got in the last municipal election so that's good," he said. "The race for Jefferson City mayor and the school board race in the Jefferson City district is what brought the voters out."
Four challengers and an incumbent were vying for two open seats on the Jefferson City Board of Education. A six-way race was set for the Jefferson City mayoral seat. All other Jefferson City offices were unopposed on the ballot.
