Unofficial results are in for the Nov. 3 election. Two state amendments and one state proposition were turned down by Missouri voters, but voters also approved two state amendments. On the county level, both St. Louis County propositions failed. 

Here’s The Call’s wrap-up of how the Nov. 3 ballot measures fared.

Missouri ballot measures

Amendment 3 was shot down by 55.489% of Missouri voters. If it had passed, Amendment 3 would have repealed the 2024 voter-approved amendment that provided reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability. Abortions would have been prohibited except in cases of “medical emergency, fetal anomaly, rape, or incest,” and in the case of rape or incest, abortions would not have been allowed later than 12 weeks.

Meanwhile, Amendment 6 was approved by 59.965% of voters statewide. Amendment 6 creates safeguards around citizen initiatives and referendums, establishing it as “a fundamental right.” The legislature is not allowed to repeal or amend a citizen initiative unless 80% of Missouri’s House of Representatives and Senate vote to refer a proposed change to the ballot. In that case, voters would then have the chance to approve or deny the change. Courts will also be able to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits.

Amendment 7 was also disapproved by voters, with 60.547% of votes cast in opposition. Amendment 7, if it had passed, would have let the state create a permanent public endowment fund to generate revenue. The subsequent revenue would have eliminated state-imposed taxes once there were sufficient funds to replace the earnings from taxes.

Voters passed Amendment 8 with a vote of 50.988%. Amendment 8 requires the election of sheriffs in most counties, with the exception of St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. It establishes sheriffs as the chief law enforcement officers in those counties and limits the removal of sheriffs from office.

Lastly on the state ballot, Proposition A was turned down by Missouri voters with 61.842% of the state voting in opposition. If voters had approved Missouri Proposition A, the new congressional district map — drawn in 2025 — would have gone into effect. The 2025 congressional map was signed into law by Governor Mike Kehoe in September 2025, making most changes to the Kansas City area by dividing the city across multiple districts. Since voters did not approve this proposition, the state will continue using the congressional map enacted in 2022.

St. Louis County ballot measures

In St. Louis County, 76.34% of voters voted “no” on Proposition A, with a total of 279,273 votes cast against the measure. Those who voted in favor accounted for 23.66%, with a total of 86,532 votes.

If voters in St. Louis County had approved Proposition A, language would have been eliminated from the charter that sets the term for county auditor at four years. The St. Louis County Council appoints the auditor for a term that runs concurrently with the county executive, and the auditor can be removed from office by a two-thirds vote from the council. 

As for Proposition S, the margin was slightly closer, but still ended in a disapproval. St. Louis County voters voted the measure down by a vote of 58.49%, with a total of 221,389 votes cast against the measure. A total of 157,148 voters, 41.51%, voted in favor of  the proposition.

Proposition S, if passed, would have allowed St. Louis County to raise property taxes by levying a tax of five cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The funds would have gone to a Senior Citizen Service Fund, which would have been managed by a board of seven appointed members. Over 50 counties in Missouri have operational Senior Citizen Service Funds, including St. Louis City.
