Getting measures on the ballot
Citizens
Residents of Missouri have the power to initiate legislation as either a state statute or a constitutional amendment. Residents also have the power to repeal legislation via veto referendum.
Legislature
In Missouri, the state legislature can refer state statutes and constitutional amendments to the ballot for voter consideration. Amendments always require voter approval before being added to the Missouri Constitution. Statutes have two routes to becoming law in Missouri—(1) pass the legislature and receive the governor's signature, or through a legislative override of the governor's veto, or (2) pass the legislature and receive voter approval, with no signature needed from the governor. Both amendments and statutes require a simple majority vote of legislators to be placed on the ballot.
