ballot initiative

With abortion on the ballot, state Rep. Jon Patterson says that the Missouri GOP must respect the outcome of Amendment 3 even if they disagree with it.

Amendment 7 would ban ranked-choice voting in Missouri.

A group turned in more than 200,000 signatures backing the effort to eventually raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Because the House made changes to the legislation previously approved by the Senate, including adding language that was stripped off, it has to again get Senate approval.

A Republican-led group trying to restore abortion rights in Missouri is ending its campaign.

None of the other 11 Republican committees and organizations supporting the Freedom Caucus in factional fight have backed down from calls for Caleb Rowden and Cindy O’Laughlin to relinquish their posts.

Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights.

Those seeking to change the initiative process are proposing additional requirements beyond a statewide majority vote.

If supporters gather enough signatures by May, voters could decide the fate of Missouri’s abortion ban in either August or November.

What's expected to be an expensive and bitter fight over Missouri abortion-rights ballot measures so far has not attracted much money.
