Ballot Summary Language

Signatures were turned in from all 115 Missouri counties to the Secretary of State on May 3, 2026. This is what will appear on your November 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.

Ballot Language Explained

Amendment 6 will secure our century-old constitutional freedom of the initiative, require ballot language to be clear and unbiased, and prevent partisan attacks on measures that the people have voted into law.

Together, our cross-partisan coalition’s ballot initiative will:

Require ballot summaries to be clear, unbiased, fair, accurate, and easy to understand.

  • Allows voters to understand exactly what they’re voting on.
  • Prohibits partisan politicians from deliberately using misleading ballot language to trick voters.

Preserve our century-old constitutional freedom to petition.

  • Ensures citizens have the ability to be a check and balance on the legislature when they ignore our voices.
  • Prohibits new laws making it more difficult for citizens to gather signatures or pass initiatives at the ballot box.
  • Guarantees that this right exists for future generations of Missourians.

Make it harder for politicians to change or undo what the people have already voted on.

  • Defends majority rule by requiring support from both parties to send any changes back to a vote of the people — 80% approval in both chambers.
  • Ensures voters have the final say.
  • Does NOT apply to any measures placed on the ballot by the legislature.

Will you join us to:

  • • ensure all ballot measures have clear and fair ballot language,
  • • defend majority rule by requiring support from both parties to send any changes to passed measures back to a vote of the people, and
  • • preserve our 118-year-old freedom to petition?

Vote Yes on Amendment 6 by November 3.
