The Missouri Constitutional Convention Question would establish a state convention.

Ballot measure details

Every 20 years, the question reappears on the Missouri ballot. The amendment was defeated by 65.45% of voters in 2002.

Support and opposition

Say Yes to Democracy supports the measure. The supporters argue that the convention would allow for the removal of new amendments.

BobPriddy, a former news director for Missourinet and a former president of the State Historical Society Board of Trustees, said that there has been a lot of stuff added to the constitution that shouldn't be there.

There isn't a campaign against the measure.

The timing for the convention would be off.

If a constitutional convention was held in the middle of a culture war, it would bring out the most ideological of people. Everyone with an agenda would be trying to write their ideas into the constitution.

The money race

According to Ballotpedia, the measure has not attracted organized funds for either side.
