Across several states, citizens will encounter ballot measures this year that propose changes to the requirements for passing state constitutional amendments. These proposals seek to increase the voter thresholds needed to enact such amendments. In Missouri, for example, state officials are weighing the possibility of implementing more stringent requirements for constitutional amendments by 2026. This initiative reflects a broader trend observed in other parts of the country where similar measures are appearing on ballots.
