What Is Amendment 4?
Amendment 4 is a measure on Missouri’s August 4, 2026 ballot that would change the rules for citizen-led initiative petitions — the process Missourians have used since 1908 to put laws and constitutional amendments directly on the ballot. Today, those measures pass with a simple statewide majority. Amendment 4 would require a statewide majority plus a majority in EVERY Missouri congressional district.

The catch: politicians exempted themselves. Measures the legislature refers to the ballot still pass with a simple majority. Only initiatives that come from citizens face the higher bar.

No on Amendment 4.
