Governor Kehoe Places Four Constitutional Amendments on August Primary Election Ballot

JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Today, Governor Mike Kehoe announced that he has signed proclamations placing Amendment 1, Amendment 2 (HJR 23/3), Amendment 4 (HJR 3), and Amendment 5 (HJR 173/174) on the August primary election ballot. The primary election will take place on August 4, 2026. 

"With several significant issues set to appear before Missouri voters this year, it is important that we both prepare for the outcome of each proposal and allow each issue to receive the careful public consideration it deserves," said Governor Kehoe. "Modernizing Missouri's outdated tax code, specifically, will be a momentous task for the Missouri General Assembly, and placing the measure to phase out Missouri's income tax on the August ballot gives lawmakers additional time to prepare for the next phase of implementation. As Missourians continue supporting policies that make our state more competitive, we want to ensure the legislature is positioned to act responsibly following the direction of the voters."
