Statewide ballot amendments

Missouri voters have five questions on their ballot on Election Day. In addition to choosing their preferred candidates, Missourians will weigh in on the issues of state investments, marijuana, KCPD funding, a new department and a state constitutional convention.

Here’s what a yes and no vote means for each of the ballot questions. You can read more about these statewide measures on the Missouri Secretary of State’s website. Note that there is no measure with the name “Amendment 2,” but there are five questions total.

As of 11:50 p.m., The Associated Press had called three of the amendments. The majority of voters had backed an increase in police funding for Kansas City and a new National Guard department. A potential constitutional convention was rejected.

U.S. Senate

Republican state Attorney General Eric Schmitt won the election for U.S. Senate, defeating Trudy Busch Valentine. He will succeed retiring Republican Sen. Roy Blunt. Libertarian Jonathan Dine and Constitution party candidate Paul Venable also ran.

U.S. House

The representatives for the state of Missouri serve the people of their district in Congress in Washington, D.C., for two-year terms. The representatives create and vote on bills that can become federal laws if also passed through the Senate and signed by the president, and serve on committees. The House of Representatives is the chamber of Congress that first introduces spending bills and can impeach federal officials. Missouri has eight U.S. representatives.

Missouri State Auditor

The Missouri auditor’s office serves as the state’s top financial watchdog agency in charge of conducting financial and performance audits of state agencies, boards and commissions and the state’s court systems. The audits look for waste, fraud and financial accountability.

Missouri voters chose Republican Scott Fitzpatrick over Democrat Alan Green and Libertarian John Hartwig to succeed Democrat Nicole Galloway.

Missouri legislators

Lawmakers in both chambers of Missouri General Assembly are up for re-election this year.

The Missouri Senate and House of Representatives work together and with the governor of Missouri to create laws and establish a state budget. Lawmakers’ responsibilities include passing bills, setting the state budget, raising and lowering taxes and voting to uphold or override vetoes.

The Senate has 34 members, and about half of them are up for election in 2022. There are 163 members of Missouri’s House of Representatives, all of whom are up for election in 2022.
