ongoing costs ranging from $0 to at least $256,000 per year by 2027. State and local gov- ernment tax revenue could change by an unknown annual amount depending on business decisions.
Fair Ballot Language:
A “yes” vote will amend Missouri statutes to increase the state minimum wage
begin- ning January 1, 2025 to $13.75 per hour and increase the hourly rate $1.25, to $15.00 per hour beginning January 2026. Annually the minimum wage will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index.

issue; and

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.
