NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION
Notice is hereby given that a Special Election has been called by proclamation of the governor, to be held in the State of
Missouri on the 4th day of August, 2026.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 1
Shall Missouri continue for 10 years the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that is used for soil and water conservation
and for state parks and historic sites, and resubmit this tax to the voters for approval in 10 years?
The measure allows continued collection of the existing sales and use tax, which generates revenue of approximately $140
million annually.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 2
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Require all charter counties, including Jackson County, to provide for the election of a county assessor: and
• Require assessors in all charter counties to comply with any training requirements established by general law?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 4
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Modify current requirements that a statewide majority of voters may approve initiative petitions to amend the
constitution:
• Require a majority of voters in each congressional district to approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution:
and
• Make available to each voter the full text of initiative petitions with their ballot?
The Department of Corrections estimates increased annual costs of up to $21,817. The Office of State Public Defender
estimates an unknown fiscal impact. Other state governmental entities estimate no costs or savings. Local
governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 5
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Phase-out the individual income tax based on revenue growth:
• Reduce personal property and other local taxes when local revenues increase;
• Modify the sales and use tax to eliminate income tax and reduce local taxes; and
• Protect local funding for public schools and other purposes?
The proposal has no direct impact on state or local tax revenue. If passed, implementing legislation will have an unknown
impact to state and local tax revenue. If implemented, state government entities expect a reduction of $57,000 annually in
income tax check-off donations and implementation costs of at least $100,000.
