Missouri voters decide Amendment 6 curbing lawmakers' power over voter-approved laws
The gist
Missouri voters are deciding Amendment 6, which would require 80% legislative approval before lawmakers could change voter-approved laws.
The measure would also make the citizen initiative process a constitutional right.
How it unfolded
- Aug 4, 2026Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 4, which sought to raise the threshold for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to a majority in each of Missouri's eight congressional districts, with just over 80% opposed.
- Sep 24, 2026A SLU/YouGov poll released this month found 48% of likely Missouri voters approved of Amendment 6, while 32% were not sure.
- Oct 18, 2026Volunteers with Respect Missouri Voters collected signatures during the No Kings demonstration at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City.
