罗伯特·尹、卡米尔·贝克 华盛顿 —— 在美国最高法院于9月三度作出裁决、尘埃落定一场旷日持久的法律纠纷后，密苏里州选民将于周二选出联邦众议院议员。
ROBERT YOON, CAMILLE BAKER WASHINGTON — Missouri voters will elect representatives to Congress on Tuesday following a long-running legal drama that was settled in September by the U.S. Supreme Court — three times .
争议焦点在于州共和党通过的本十年中期重划选区方案，这是唐纳德·特朗普总统推动提前重新划定国会选区边界、以增强共和党守住其脆弱的众议院多数席位希望的一部分。
At issue was the mid-decade redistricting plan adopted by state Republicans as part of President Donald Trump’s push to redraw congressional district boundaries ahead of schedule to boost the party’s prospects of holding its fragile House majority.
最高法院的裁决意味着，选民投出的选票可能适用与2022年和2024年大选相同的选区，尽管他们在8月4日初选中投票的选区形状可能不同。
The Court’s decision means that voters might cast ballots in the same districts as they did in the 2022 and 2024 elections, even though they may have voted in differently shaped districts in the Aug. 4 primary .
选民还将决定州审计长、州议会议员等职位的竞选，以及五项全州范围的投票提案，包括关于国会选区重划的A提案，以及关于堕胎和未成年人性别转换的第3号修正案。投票于当地时间晚上7点结束，即美国东部时间晚上8点。
Voters will also decide races for state auditor, the state Legislature and five statewide ballot measures , including Proposition A on congressional redistricting and Amendment 3 on abortion and gender transition for minors. Polls close at 7 p.m. local time, which is 8 p.m. ET.
美联社将提供联邦众议院、州审计长、州参议院、州众议院竞争性选战的投票结果并宣布胜者，同时公布全州范围投票提案的结果。2022年密苏里州联邦参议员选举共投出约210万张选票。
The Associated Press will provide vote results and declare winners in contested races for U.S. House, state auditor, state Senate, state House and the statewide ballot measures. About 2.1 million votes were cast in Missouri’s 2022 election for U.S. Senate.
2022年参议员选举中，约23%的选票为提前现场投票或邮寄投票。
About 23% of the vote in the 2022 Senate election was cast early in-person or by mail.

当晚最先公布的投票报告往往包含各类投票方式的混合数据。绝大多数县在夜间开始时就会公布全部或几乎全部提前现场投票和选举日投票结果。绝大多数县也会在首份投票报告中公布邮寄投票结果。
The first vote reports of the night tend to be a mix of all vote types. Counties overwhelmingly release all or almost all early in-person and Election Day results at the start of the night. The vast majority of counties also release mail voting results in the first vote report.
2024年大选中，美联社于美国东部时间晚上8点18分首次公布结果，即投票结束后18分钟。计票于美国东部时间晚上10点30分达到半数，于次日凌晨12点30分完成90%选票的统计。
In the 2024 general election, the AP first reported results at 8:18 p.m. ET, or 18 minutes after polls closed. The vote count reached the half-way mark at 10:30 p.m. ET and 90% of total votes counted at 12:30 a.m.
密苏里州没有自动重新计票制度，但联邦、司法和州级职位（包括州议会）的候选人，如果得票差距小于总票数的0.5%，可以申请重新计票。地方职位候选人如果得票差距小于总票数的1%，可以申请重新计票。法院也可以作为选举争议程序的一部分下令重新计票。如果美联社认定领先优势大到足以使重新计票或法律挑战无法改变结果，美联社可能会在面临重新计票的竞选中宣布获胜者。
ET. Missouri does not have automatic recounts, but candidates for federal, judicial and state offices, including state Legislature, may request a recount if the margin is less than 0.5% of the vote. Candidates for local offices may request a recount if the margin is less than 1% of the vote. A court may also order a recount as part of an election contest proceeding. The AP may declare a winner in a race that is subject to a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
