Constitutional Convention Question - Measure to require the governor to call an election of delegates to serve at a convention for the purpose of revising or amending the Missouri Constitution

Summary

A "yes" vote will require the governor to call an election of delegates to serve at a convention for the purpose of revising or amending the Missouri Constitution. Any revisions or amendments will then be put to a vote of the people for their consideration.

A "no" vote will mean no constitutional convention will be held.

"There's a variety of amendments that no longer apply, and provisions that no longer apply either. One being, of course, defining marriage between a man and woman — that's still in it. There's other regulations, such as regulating bingo." - Robynn Kuhlmann, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Central Missouri, in support of Constitutional Convention Question (Learn more)
