Path to the ballot
Process in Missouri
In Missouri, the number of signatures required to qualify a veto referendum for the ballot is equal to 5 percent of the votes cast for governor in the previous gubernatorial election in six of the eight state congressional districts. Signatures must be filed 90 days following the adjournment of the legislative session in which the law was passed.
The requirements to get a veto referendum certified for the 2026 ballot:
Once the signatures have been filed with the secretary of state, the secretary copies the petition sheets and transmits them to county election authorities for verification. The secretary of state may choose whether the signatures are to be verified by a 5 percent random sample or full verification. If the random sampling projects between 90 percent and 110 percent of required signatures, a full check of all signatures is required. If more than 110 percent, the veto referendum is certified, and, if less than 90 percent, the initiative fails.
