Missouri Initiative and referendum powers; legislative changes to initiatives

On the November 3, 2026 ballot. Ask the guide what a yes vote and a no vote would each do, in the official wording.

The question on the ballot

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right; allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits; prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative or referendum powers; prohibit the legislature from changing or repealing laws enacted through the initiative process, or passing laws similar to those rejected by referendum, without approval from at least 80% of both chambers; and preserve existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative and referendum petitions? State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.

Where, when and how to vote

The guide doesn't answer these. The current, official answers are with Missouri Secretary of State.
