Get StartedThis measure amends the Missouri Constitution to specify that only United States citizens are entitled to vote, voters shall only have a single vote for each candidate or issue, restrict any type of ranking of candidates for a particular office and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes at the primary election as a party candidate for an office shall be the only candidate for that party at the general election, and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes for each office at the general election shall be declared the winner. This provision does not apply to any nonpartisan municipal election held in a city that had an ordinance in effect as of November 5, 2024, that requires a preliminary election at which more than one candidate advances to a subsequent election.
A "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to specify that only United States citizens are entitled to vote, voters shall only have a single vote for each candidate or issue, restrict any type of ranking of candidates for a particular office and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes at the primary election as a party candidate for an office shall be the only candidate for that party at the general election, and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes for each office at the general election shall be declared the winner. This provision does not apply to any nonpartisan municipal election held in a city that had an ordinance in effect as of November 5, 2024, that requires a preliminary election at which more than one candidate advances to a subsequent election.
A "no" vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution to make any changes to how voters vote in primary and general elections.
"It's absolutely a deceptive ballot measure." - Rep. Eric Woods (D), in opposition to Amendment 7 (Learn more)
"In our opinion, the language in our constitution is ambiguous. When you have the word ‘all' citizens are able to vote instead of ‘only,' that still does not preclude any local municipality from allowing non-citizens to vote." - Rep. Adam Schwadron (R), in support of Amendment 7 (Learn more)
"As you can see in the wording of the second point, this amendment would wipe out all alternative voting systems. We don't need to settle the question of which voting system is best. We can let localities settle that question for themselves, as long as they're not banned from doing so by this amendment." - Preserve Local Elections, in opposition to Amendment 7 (Learn more)
"Only U.S. citizens should decide the outcome of U.S. elections—one person, one vote counted fairly and equally. Left-wing schemes that destroy this solemn, foundational principle should always be prohibited." - Ken Cuccinelli, National Chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative, in support of Amendment 7 (Learn more)
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: Make the Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote; Prohibit the ranking of candidates by limiting voters to a single vote per candidate or issue; and Require the plurality winner of a political party primary to be the single candidate at a general election? State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
