Amendment 3
Proposed by the 103rd General Assembly (First Regular Session) HCS HJR 73
Official Ballot Title:
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
- Repeal the 2024 voter-approved Amendment providing reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability;
- Allow abortions for rape and incest (under twelve-weeks’ gestation), emergencies, and fetal anomalies;
- Allow legislation regulating abortion;
- Ensure parental consent for minors’ abortions;
- Prohibit gender transition procedures for minors?
State governmental entities estimate no costs or savings. Greene County estimates it may experience an unknown increase in tax revenue. Other local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
Amendment 3 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would repeal the reproductive healthcare protections Missouri voters approved in November 2024. Those protections established a constitutional right to reproductive healthcare, including access to abortion through fetal viability.
The proposed amendment would allow Missouri lawmakers to restrict abortion to certain circumstances, including medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, and pregnancies resulting from rape or incest during the first 12 weeks. It would also permit additional regulations on abortion providers and facilities, require parental or a judge’s consent for minors seeking abortions, and prohibit gender transition procedures for minors, subject to certain medical exceptions. Missouri law already stops minors from getting gender transition procedures, but this amendment would add the rule to the state constitution.
Amendment 6
Proposed by Initiative Petition
Official Ballot Title:
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.
Amendment 6 is a proposed change to Missouri's Constitution that would give voters more protection when they use petitions to put issues on the ballot.
For more than 118 years, Missourians have been able to collect signatures to put proposed laws and constitutional changes on the ballot.
In recent years, Missouri lawmakers have changed or overturned laws that voters already approved. Amendment 6 would make it harder for lawmakers to do this.
Under Amendment 6, at least 80% of lawmakers in both the Missouri House and Senate would have to agree before changes to voter-approved laws and amendments could move forward. Any changes would then go back to voters to approve, giving voters the final say . This would make it much harder for lawmakers to undo decisions made by Missouri voters.
Amendment 6 would also require the language voters read on their ballots to be clear, fair, and easy to understand. Sometimes, ballot language can be confusing or misleading. The amendment would allow courts to correct ballot summaries that do not clearly explain what a proposal would do.
Finally, Amendment 6 would keep the current rules for collecting petition signatures and allow citizen-proposed measures to pass with a simple majority, meaning more than half of the votes cast. It would make the initiative petition a fundamental right for Missouri citizens and prohibit any new laws making it more difficult to gather signatures or pass initiatives at the ballot box.
Amendment 7
Proposed by 103rd General Assembly (Second Regular Session) SS SCS SJR 95
Official Ballot Title:
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to establish a permanent public endowment fund to support state government instead of taxing Missouri residents, prohibit the General Assembly from appropriating or diverting the fund, and eliminate state imposed taxes once the fund generates sufficient revenue to replace them?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
Amendment 7 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish a permanent public investment fund intended to bring revenue for Missouri's state government and potentially eliminate state-imposed taxes.
The fund would receive money appropriated by the Missouri General Assembly, along with eligible donations, grants, and other contributions. The State Treasurer would invest the money in funds tracking the S&P 500 stock market index, with the goal of generating enough investment earnings to eventually replace revenue collected through state taxes.
The amendment would protect the fund's principal from being spent or diverted by lawmakers. It would also prohibit withdrawals until the State Treasurer determines that investment earnings are sufficient to replace state-imposed taxes.
Amendment 8
Proposed by the 103rd General Assembly (Second Regular Session) CCS HCS SS SJR 87
Official Ballot Title:
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to support law enforcement by preserving the right of citizens to elect a county sheriff, prohibiting the removal of a county sheriff except by a writ of quo warranto, and recognizing the official of sheriff as part of the administration of justice?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
Amendment 8 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish additional protections for the office of county sheriff in Missouri. The measure would place existing state laws governing the election, duties, and removal of county sheriffs into the Missouri Constitution.
Currently, Missouri law generally requires county sheriffs to be elected every four years.
Amendment 8 would make that requirement a constitutional provision, making it more difficult for future lawmakers to change how sheriffs are selected or eliminate elected sheriff positions.
The amendment would also establish stricter requirements for removing a sheriff from office. Under the proposal, an elected sheriff could generally be removed only through a legal proceeding called a writ of quo warranto, initiated by the Missouri Attorney General. This is a court process used to challenge someone's legal authority to hold public office.
Proposition A
Proposed by Referendum Petition
Official Ballot Title:
Do the people of the state of Missouri approve the act of the General Assembly entitled “House Bill No. 1 (2025 Second Extraordinary Session),” which repeals Missouri’s existing congressional plan, and replaces it with new congressional boundaries that keep more counties intact?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
Proposition A gives Missouri voters the chance to decide whether to approve or reject a new map that determines which areas of the state are represented by each of Missouri's eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Missouri is divided into eight congressional districts. Each district elects one person to represent its residents in Congress. The boundaries of these districts help determine which communities vote together to elect their representative.
Normally, these maps are updated every 10 years after the U.S. Census, which counts how many people live in each area. Missouri adopted its current congressional map in 2022, following the 2020 Census.
However, in September 2025, Missouri lawmakers passed a bill to change the congressional district boundaries several years before the next census.
In response, Missouri citizens gathered petition signatures to challenge the new map and give voters a say in whether it should take effect. This process is called a referendum, which allows voters to approve or reject certain laws passed by the state legislature.
In simple terms, Proposition A asks Missouri voters whether they want to approve the new congressional map passed by state lawmakers in 2025 or reject it.
