Statewide ballot measures
Amendment 3: Prohibit Abortion and Gender Transition Procedures for Minors Amendment
YES: supports repealing the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, banning abortion except in cases of medical emergency, fetal anomaly, rape, or incest (rape and incest only through 12 weeks), and banning gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers for minors
NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping the existing constitutional right to reproductive freedom, and not adding provisions that prohibit abortion and gender transition surgeries and procedures
Amendment 6: Initiative and Referendum Powers and Legislative Change Requirements
YES: supports letting lawmakers change or repeal a citizen-passed law only if 80% of both the House and Senate send the change back to voters and voters approve it, making the citizen initiative process a constitutional right, and blocking the legislature from making future initiatives harder to get on the ballot
NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping lawmakers able to change or repeal citizen-passed laws as they can now, and leaving the initiative process without these constitutional protections
Amendment 7: Creation of Show-Me Prosperity Investment Fund
YES: supports creating a permanent, state-managed public endowment fund, invested with the goal of generating earnings that could replace tax revenue and eventually eliminate state taxes
NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, so the endowment fund is not created and the state keeps funding itself as it does now
Amendment 8: Require Election of County Sheriffs
YES: supports requiring most counties to elect their sheriffs to four-year terms, with St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County exempt
NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, leaving the election of county sheriffs to state law rather than the constitution
Proposition A: Congressional Map Referendum
YES: supports putting the 2025 Republican-drawn congressional map, which gives Republicans a 7R-1D edge, into effect going forward (it would not change November’s elections)
NO: opposes this referendum, blocking the 2025 map and keeping the current 6R-2D map
