Amendment 3 - Prohibit Abortion and Gender Transition Procedures for Minors
A “YES” VOTE
Would repeal Missouri’s 2024 constitutional protections for reproductive healthcare, allow new limits on abortion including restrictions after twelve weeks with specified exceptions, regulate abortion providers and consent requirements, limit public funding, and prohibit gender transition procedures for minors with limited medical exceptions.

A “NO" VOTE
Will leave Article I, Section 36, of the Missouri Constitution approved by voters in 2024 in place; will not limit abortion to cases of medical emergency, rape and incest under twelve weeks gestation, and fetal anomalies, but leave access to abortion available through fetal viability; will not prohibit gender transition procedures for minors.

Amendment 6 - Initiative & Referendum Powers & Legislative Change Requirements
A “YES” VOTE
Would protect past and future initiative proposals from legislative changes without a new statewide vote. To alter a measure approved by initiative, 80% of lawmakers in both chambers would have to agree to submit it to the ballot.

A “NO" VOTE
Will not change the current constitutional provisions, which already give citizens the right to propose initiatives and referenda.

Amendment 7 - Creation of Show-Me Prosperity Investment Fund for State Tax Reduction and Elimination
A “YES” VOTE
Would create the permanent “Show-Me Prosperity Fund,” using investment earnings to help eliminate state-imposed taxes while protecting the fund’s principal. Withdrawals would be limited to 3% of the fund’s average value over five years, and eliminated taxes could not be reinstated unless the fund became unable to meet its obligations, such as through insolvency or revenue shortfalls.

A “NO" VOTE
Will not amend the Missouri Constitution to establish a permanent public endowment fund to support state government with the goal of eliminating state-imposed taxes.

Amendment 8 - Require Election of County Sheriffs
A “YES” VOTE
Amend the Missouri Constitution to require counties to: elect a sheriff every four years, which is currently required by statute; place in the Constitution provisions regarding sheriffs’ duties that are currently provided by statute; and provide that an elected sheriff may be removed from office only through a writ of quo warranto initiated by the Attorney General.

A “NO" VOTE
Will not amend the Missouri Constitution. Current Missouri statutes providing for the election of county sheriffs to four-year terms and governing their duties and removal will remain in effect unless changed by law.

Proposition A - Congressional Map Referendum
A “YES” VOTE
Will approve the act of the General Assembly entitled “House Bill No. 1 (2025 Extraordinary Session),” which redraws the congressional district boundaries.

A “NO" VOTE
Will leave in place the congressional district boundaries enacted in 2022.
