Missouri Supreme Court Rules on Ballot Measures | Jefferson City News

The Missouri Supreme Court is racing against time to decide three high-stakes ballot measure appeals by September 8th—just days before the deadline to get measures on the November ballot. At the center: a referendum challenging the state’s gerrymandered congressional map and another amendment aimed at limiting lawmakers’ power over citizen initiatives. Both were previously blocked by lower courts, with rulings citing constitutional limits on referendums and overly broad amendments.

The court’s swift action could reshape how citizens challenge laws—and what even qualifies for the ballot—in Missouri.
