All News — Missouri

Missouri's new congressional map designed to eliminate a Democratic-held seat faces an ACLU lawsuit and anti-redistricting activists submitted signatures to place the map before voters.

Missouri pre-filed bills requiring hand-counts of nearly all ballots statewide and creating an office to investigate alleged election law violations.

Missouri is a key battleground for direct democracy in 2026, with multiple ballot measures and legislative efforts to restrict the citizen initiative process.

Amendment 4 on the 2026 ballot would require citizen initiatives to win majorities in all eight congressional districts; no initiative since 2020 would have met this standard.
