2024 Ballot Measures, Official Ballot Title Amendment 7 - What Does It All Mean?

Fair Ballot Language:

Official Ballot Title Amendment 7


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.


Fair Ballot Language:


A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to specify that only United Statesciti- zens 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 

elec- tion 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.


If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes
