Constitutional Amendment

Voters in Ohio shot down Issue 1, rejecting conservative lawmakers' attempt to change the constitutional amendment process ahead of a vote on reproductive rights this November. The Missouri GOP has been considering pushing a similar measure to block the possibility of voters enshrining abortion access in the state constitution.

The Missouri Association of Realtors offered a compromise to remain neutral in campaign but it was not accepted by GOP leadership.

The legislation would raise the share of votes needed to pass a proposed change to the Missouri Constitution from a simple majority to 60%.

Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to trick Missourians with a ballot summary focused on citizen voting. State law already says only U.S. citizens may register to vote.

Thanks to a Missouri law, voters must be asked every 20 years whether they would like to call a convention to amend the state constitution. But since the question started being asked in 1962, Missourians have never voted "yes."

The proposed amendment next goes to the state Senate. And if the legislature passes it, the measure would need voters' approval in November.
