Ballot measures
Constitutional Amendment No. 3Yes or No
In plain language
Would repeal the reproductive health care amendment voters approved in 2024. It would allow abortion in cases of rape or incest before 12 weeks of pregnancy, in emergencies and for fetal anomalies; allow laws regulating abortion; require parental consent for minors’ abortions; and prohibit gender transition procedures for minors.
Exact ballot language
Proposed by the 103rd General Assembly (First Regular Session) HCS HJR 73
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
- Repeal the 2024 voter-approved Amendment providing reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability;
- Allow abortions for rape and incest (under twelve-weeks’ gestation), emergencies, and fetal anomalies;
- Allow legislation regulating abortion;
- Ensure parental consent for minors’ abortions;

Constitutional Amendment No. 6Yes or No
In plain language
Would make the initiative and referendum petition process a fundamental right, let courts revise ballot summaries through lawsuits, and bar the legislature from weakening those powers. Changing or repealing laws passed by initiative, or passing laws like ones voters rejected by referendum, would take at least 80% of both chambers of the legislature. Current majority-vote and signature requirements would stay the same.
Exact ballot language

- expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right;
- allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits;
- prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative or referendum powers;
- prohibit the legislature from changing or repealing laws enacted through the initiative process, or passing laws similar to those rejected by referendum, without approval from at least 80% of both chambers; and
- preserve existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative and referendum petitions?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT · NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
Constitutional Amendment No. 7Yes or No

Would create a permanent public endowment fund to support state government. The legislature could not spend or divert the fund, and state-imposed taxes would end once the fund earns enough to replace them.
Exact ballot language
Proposed by 103rd General Assembly (Second Regular Session) SS SCS SJR 95
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to establish a permanent public endowment fund to support state government instead of taxing Missouri residents, prohibit the General Assembly from appropriating or diverting the fund, and eliminate state-imposed taxes once the fund generates sufficient revenue to replace them?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT · NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
Constitutional Amendment No. 8Yes or No
In plain language
Would put the right to elect a county sheriff in the state constitution, allow a sheriff to be removed only through a writ of quo warranto (a court action challenging someone’s right to hold office), and recognize the sheriff’s office as part of the administration of justice.
Exact ballot language
Proposed by the 103rd General Assembly (Second Regular Session) CCS HCS SS SJR 87
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to support law enforcement by preserving the right of citizens to elect a county sheriff, prohibiting the removal of a county sheriff except by a writ of quo warranto, and recognizing the office of sheriff as part of the administration of justice?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT · NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
Proposition AYes or No
In plain language
Asks whether to approve the congressional district map the legislature passed in 2025 (House Bill No. 1). A yes vote approves the new map. A no vote rejects it, keeping the current map.
Exact ballot language
Proposed by Referendum Petition
Do the people of the state of Missouri approve the act of the General Assembly entitled "House Bill No. 1 (2025 Second Extraordinary Session)," which repeals Missouri's existing congressional plan, and replaces it with new congressional boundaries that keep more counties intact?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
YES - FOR THE PROPOSITION · NO - AGAINST THE PROPOSITION
City Proposition 1Yes or No

Special city elections would use the same non-partisan, top-two runoff system used in regular city elections. It does this by repealing Section 5 of Article IV of the City Charter.

In plain language
Would amend the City Charter to add a citywide sales tax of one-half of one percent (50 cents on a $100 purchase) for a new Early Childhood Education Fund serving children 5 and younger.

Exact ballot language

About the forumWho it’s for and what to expect
Futuremakers Club is hosting a nonpartisan forum focused on St. Louis City ballot propositions and the St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education election. Voters are invited to hear directly from candidates and campaigns, ask questions, review their ballots and talk with other St. Louisans about the issues affecting our city.
The forum is designed for voters who want to learn more before making their decisions, particularly those who are undecided or interested in hearing different perspectives. This is an opportunity for dialogue and civic education, not a political rally.
Futuremakers is a judgment-free space. Whether you’ve followed every ballot issue or are just beginning to learn about the election, you’re welcome here.

The final run of show will be confirmed before the event. St. Louis City propositions and the Board of Education will be prioritized, as well as any districts covering downtown that have multiple candidates. Unopposed candidates are invited to speak if their district covers downtown.

If only one side of an issue participates, a Futuremakers board member will provide a neutral summary of the opposing position before opening the discussion to audience questions.
ParticipationFor candidates and campaigns
Candidates and campaigns associated with the issues on the agenda are invited to participate in the moderated discussions. Each campaign may designate one speaker or send a representative on its behalf.
All other candidates and campaigns appearing on the November 3 ballot are welcome to attend, bring materials and speak with guests before and after the forum.
- Campaigns may leave printed materials at the designated literature table only. Materials may not be distributed directly to attendees or placed on other tables.
- Each campaign should provide a public contact so voters can reach them.
To request a speaking opportunity, use the campaign sign-up form by the end of the day on Tuesday, October 27.
DecorumHow we keep the conversation respectful
Futuremakers encourages diplomacy, decorum and thoughtful civic participation. St. Louisans often share similar hopes for their city while holding different opinions about how to achieve them. Respectful disagreement is a valuable part of civic life, and everyone should have the opportunity to express their views, ask questions and listen without interruption.
- Speakers and audience members may not interrupt one another.
- After two interruptions, a participant’s speaking privileges will be revoked.
- Disruptive behavior is not permitted. We respect one another’s voices and recognize that everyone in the room is an equal participant in our civic life.
- Facilitators will maintain the schedule and ensure fair opportunities for participation.
- Any Futuremakers staff or board member actively working on a campaign appearing on the ballot must recuse themselves from selecting questions, facilitating discussions or otherwise influencing the forum’s presentation of that campaign or issue.
Futuremakers Club will not endorse candidates or take positions on ballot measures. Our role is to convene and provide opportunities for unbiased civic education and meaningful conversation.
