Missouri ballot

Missouri voters will decide Amendment 3, a constitutional amendment proposed by the General Assembly as HCS HJR 73 (2025). It would repeal Article I, Section 36, the reproductive healthcare rights provision voters approved in 2024, and add provisions on abortion regulation and gender transition procedures for minors. The Secretary of State certified a second revised official ballot title on Dec 19, 2025, pursuant to an opinion of the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, in a challenge to the original ballot language. The official fair ballot language describing what a yes or no vote does is below.

A yes vote: A "yes" vote will repeal Article I, Section 36, of the Missouri Constitution approved by the voters in 2024 which provided reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability; continue to ensure women’s ability to access medical care for medical emergencies, ectopic pregnancies, and miscarriages; allow legislation to regulate abortion providers and facilities to ensure health and safety; require informed and voluntary consent for an abortion, including parental or judicial consent for minors; allow restriction of abortions to cases of medical emergency, rape and incest under twelve weeks gestation, and fetal anomalies; prohibit public funding of abortions except in limited circumstances; and prohibit gender transition procedures for minors including gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking drugs, with exceptions for specific medical conditions. If passed, this measure will not increase or decrease taxes.

A no vote: A "no" vote will leave Article I, Section 36, of the Missouri Constitution approved by voters in 2024 in place; will not limit abortion to cases of medical emergency, rape and incest under twelve weeks gestation, and fetal anomalies, but leave access to abortion available through fetal viability; will not prohibit gender transition procedures for minors.

Missouri voters will decide Amendment 6, a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot by initiative petition (petition 2026-106). It concerns the initiative and referendum petition process, including limits on the legislature's ability to change laws enacted by initiative. The Secretary of State issued a certificate of sufficiency on Sept 8, 2026, stating that, pursuant to an opinion of the Supreme Court of Missouri, the petition has enough valid signatures and will appear on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot. The official fair ballot language describing what a yes or no vote does is below.

A yes vote: A "yes" vote will prohibit the people’s elected representatives from directly amending or changing any law enacted through the initiative process; require that any modifications to laws enacted through the initiative process be referred to the people by a vote of at least 80% of each chamber of the General Assembly; restrict the legislature from passing laws that limit the ability to pursue initiatives and referenda; maintain the current signature requirements of five percent of the individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a law; maintain the current signature requirement of eight percent of individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a constitutional amendment; and maintain the current requirement that a simple statewide majority of votes cast on a measure by individual legal voters is sufficient to enact any law or constitutional amendment. If passed, this measure will not increase or decrease taxes.

A no vote: A "no" vote will not change the current constitutional provisions, which already give citizens the right to propose initiatives and referenda.

Missouri voters will decide Amendment 7, a constitutional amendment proposed by the General Assembly as SS SCS SJR 95 (2026). It would establish the "Show-Me Prosperity Fund," a permanent public endowment fund, restrict appropriations from it, and eliminate state-imposed taxes once the State Treasurer certifies the fund's earnings are sufficient. The official fair ballot language describing what a yes or no vote does is below.

A yes vote: A "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to establish the “Show-Me Prosperity Fund,” a permanent public endowment fund to support state government with the goal of eliminating state-imposed taxes without impairing the real value of the fund’s principal; prohibit the General Assembly from appropriating or diverting monies from the fund until notification is given by the State Treasurer that the net investment earnings of the fund are sufficient to eliminate state-imposed taxes; cap the total amount of moneys that may be appropriated from the fund in a fiscal year to three percent of the average market value of the fund over the preceding five fiscal years; and prohibit the General Assembly from enacting the eliminated state-imposed taxes, provided, however, that in the event the fund is unable to meet its obligations due to insolvency, revenue shortfall, or program failure, the General Assembly shall retain full authority to appropriate funds from any lawful source and to enact legislation establishing or increasing taxes or other revenues as necessary. If passed, this measure will have no immediate impact on taxes but could lead to the elimination of state-imposed taxes if the net investment earnings of the fund become sufficient to support that outcome.

A no vote: A "no" vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution to establish a permanent public endowment fund to support state government with the goal of eliminating state-imposed taxes.

Missouri voters will decide Amendment 8, a constitutional amendment proposed by the General Assembly as CCS HCS SS SJR 87 (2026). It would put into the Constitution the requirement that counties elect a sheriff every four years and provisions on sheriffs' duties, and provide that an elected sheriff may be removed only through a writ of quo warranto brought by the Attorney General. The official fair ballot language describing what a yes or no vote does is below.

A yes vote: A "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to require counties to: elect a sheriff every four years, which is currently required by statute; place in the Constitution provisions regarding sheriffs’ duties that are currently provided by statute; and provide that an elected sheriff may be removed from office only through a writ of quo warranto initiated by the Attorney General. If passed, this measure will not increase or decrease taxes.

A no vote: A "no" vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution. Current Missouri statutes providing for the election of county sheriffs to four-year terms and governing their duties and removal will remain in effect unless changed by law.

Missouri voters will decide Proposition A, a referendum placed on the ballot by citizen petition on House Bill No. 1 (2025 Second Extraordinary Session), the law passed by the General Assembly that replaces Missouri's congressional district map. The Secretary of State issued a certificate of sufficiency on Sept 8, 2026, stating that, pursuant to an opinion of the Supreme Court of Missouri, the referendum petition has enough valid signatures and will appear on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot. Per the official fair ballot language, a yes vote approves the new congressional boundaries and a no vote leaves in place the boundaries enacted in 2022.

A yes vote: A "yes" vote will approve the act of the General Assembly entitled “House Bill No. 1 (2025 Extraordinary Session),” which redraws the congressional district boundaries. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.

A no vote: A "no" vote will leave in place the congressional district boundaries enacted in 2022.
