Missouri voters could face as many as nine ballot measures in 2026

There could be as many as nine ballot measures before Missouri voters in August and November, including proposals on abortion, taxes, initiative petitions, state parks and congressional redistricting.

Seven are already slated for the ballot, while an initiative petition and a possible referendum on congressional redistricting are still awaiting decisions. If all nine appear, it would be the most statewide ballot measures in Missouri since 2014.

Gov. Mike Kehoe could place as many as five of the measures on the Aug. 4 primary ballot.

The deadline for that decision is Tuesday, but Secretary of State Denny Hoskins’ office has asked Kehoe to finish by Friday because of the Monday holiday.
