Parties are meeting Wednesday for People Not Politicians' case related to Missouri's new gerrymandered congressional map.

The Missouri Association of Realtors donated $2 million Monday to defeat Amendment 4, pouring new money into a fight over citizen-led ballot initiatives just days after spending nearly the same amount to oppose a separate tax overhaul on Missouri’s Aug. 4 ballot.

Missouri voters in August will decide whether to approve a proposed constitutional amendment allowing for the expansion of sales and use taxes in order to eliminate the income tax.

The high court also rejected lawsuits contending that the new lines passed in 2025 were not compact as required by law.

Voters will decide on two City Council races and three seats on the Columbia School Board in Tuesday’s election.

Many votes were cast even before the polls opened on municipal election day. Boone County clerk Brianna Lennon said thousands have cast absentee ballots ahead of election day.

Flash floods led to the deaths of two poll workers.

No-excuse absentee voting is bringing out long lines across the county.

If voters pass the resolution, it would bar local governments from adopting ranked-choice voting models. St. Louis municipal elections would not be affected.

Local governments are responsible for the day-to-day functioning of your city or town. KBIA's Alex Cox put together a guide to the positions often up for municipal elections ahead of the April 2 municipal election across the state.
