The Missouri Changes to Citizen Initiatives and Referendums Amendment was not on the ballot in Missouri as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.[1]

The initiative would have increased the number of required signatures for initiated constitutional amendments from a number equal to 8% of votes in the previous gubernatorial election in six of the state's eight congressional districts to 10% of voters in all eight of the congressional districts. It would also have required a two-thirds (66.67%) vote to enact any ballot measure. The amendment would have taken effect on January 1, 2023.[2]
