A petition sample form was approved for circulation by the Missouri Secretary of State's office on December 15, 2008. The official ballot title was certified on January 6, 2009.
Official ballot title

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to limit the number of terms a person may serve as lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, or state auditor to two terms, including service of any partial terms of more than two years, but excluding terms in those offices resulting from an election prior to December 4, 2008?
Fiscal impact estimate
