State Constitution
Article VIII, Section 2 of the Missouri Constitution states:
“Only citizens of the United States, 2 including occupants of soldiers’ and sailors’ homes, over 3 the age of eighteen who are residents of this state and of 4 the political subdivision in which they offer to vote are 5 entitled to vote at all elections by the people, if the 6 election is one for which registration is required if they 7 are registered within the time prescribed by law, or if the 8 election is one for which registration is not required, if they have been residents of the political subdivision in 10 which they offer to vote for thirty days next preceding the 11 election for which they offer to vote: Provided however, no 12 person who has a guardian of his or her estate or person by 13 reason of mental incapacity, appointed by a court of 14 competent jurisdiction and no person who is involuntarily 15 confined in a mental institution pursuant to an adjudication 16 of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be entitled to 17 vote, and persons convicted of felony, or crime connected 18 with the exercise of the right of suffrage may be excluded 19 by law from voting.”
Proposed ballot language
“Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
*Make the Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote;
*Prohibit the ranking of candidates by limiting voters to a single vote per candidate or issue; and
*Require the plurality winner of a political party primary to be the single candidate at a general election?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings”
