Primary election competitiveness
This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Missouri. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Missouri in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 24, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty-five of the 132 Missouri state legislators who filed for re-election—13 Democrats and 22 Republicans—faced contested primaries. That equals 27% of incumbents who filed for re-election, the highest rate since 2014. The remaining 73% of incumbents did not face primary challengers.
A primary is contested when there are more candidates running than available nominations, meaning at least one candidate must lose. Historically, however, Missouri incumbents tended to win contested primaries.
From 2014 to 2020, six state legislative incumbents—four Democrats and two Republicans—lost to primary challengers in Missouri. This means that during that time, 92% of incumbents in contested primaries ultimately advanced to the general election.
In 2022, at least one incumbent was guaranteed to lose. Two Democratic incumbents—Reps. Mike Person (D) and Raychel Proudie (D)—were drawn into the same St. Louis-area district during the redistricting process. Only one advanced to the general election.
The total number of contested primaries—including those without incumbents—was also up in 2022, though lower than in 2018. With 180 districts holding elections, there are 360 possible primaries every election cycle.
In 2022, there were 69 contested primaries—15 Democratic primaries and 54 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was down from 22 in 2020, a 32% decrease. For Republicans, the number increased 29%, from 42 in 2020 to 54 in 2022.
Forty-nine of those districts were left open, meaning no incumbents filed to run, a lower figure than in recent cycles. This decrease came as fewer legislators faced term limits barring them from seeking re-election compared to recent election cycles.
In 2018, 53 legislators were term-limited, and 42 faced limits in 2020. In both cycles, the Missouri State Legislature was one of the most affected by term limits out of the 15 states with limits nationwide. In 2022, 24 legislators faced term limits.
Overall, 361 major party candidates filed to run this year: 126 Democrats and 235 Republicans.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[5] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.
| Open Seats in Missouri House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2022 | 163 | 41 (25 percent) | 122 (75 percent) |
| 2020 | 163 | 46 (28 percent) | 117 (72 percent) |
| 2018 | 163 | 56 (34 percent) | 107 (66 percent) |
| 2016 | 163 | 33 (20 percent) | 130 (80 percent) |
| 2014 | 163 | 25 (15 percent) | 138 (85 percent) |
| 2012 | 163 | 44 (27 percent) | 119 (73 percent) |
| 2010 | 163 | 63 (39 percent) | 100 (61 percent) |
Incumbents running in new districts
When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.
In 2022, 28 incumbents filed to run for re-election in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Click [show] on the table below to view those incumbents.
Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Missouri Revised Statutes, Section 115.307
For state-recognized political party candidates
A political party candidate seeking placement on the primary ballot must file a declaration of candidacy with the appropriate election official by 5:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday in March immediately preceding the primary. The declaration of candidacy cannot be submitted prior to 8:00 a.m. on the last Tuesday in February immediately preceding the primary. The declaration must state the candidate's name, residential address, office being sought, and political party.[6][7]
Before filing a declaration of candidacy, a candidate must pay a filing fee to the treasurer of the state or county committee of the political party whose nomination he or she is seeking in the primary. Filing fees vary according to the office being sought and are as follows:[6][8]
| Filing fees | |
|---|---|
| Office | Filing fee |
| Statewide offices (e.g., governor, secretary of state, etc.), United States Senator | $500 |
| United States Representative, State senator | $300 |
| State representative | $150 |
A candidate must also file an affidavit with the Missouri Department of Revenue affirming that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the candidate is not delinquent in the payment of any state-owed taxes (e.g., income tax, property tax, etc.).[6][9]
A candidate is required to file for office in-person. In addition to completing the declaration of candidacy, a candidate must present proof of identity, a receipt for the payment of any filing fees, and a copy of the affidavit filed with the Missouri Department of Revenue. A candidate may file for office by certified mail if he or she is unable to appear in person due to a physical disability or is a member of the armed forces on active duty. Filing paperwork submitted via mail must be certified by a notary public.[6][10]
If a candidate is unable to pay the required filing fees, he or she may have the fee waived by filing a "Declaration of Inability to Pay" and a petition with his or her declaration of candidacy. If the candidate is filing for statewide office, the petition must be signed by a number of registered voters in the state equal to at least one-half of 1 percent of the total number of votes cast in the state for the office being sought at the last election in which a candidate ran for the office. If the candidate is filing for any other office, the petition must be signed by a number of registered voters in the district or political subdivision equal to at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the office being sought at the last election in which a candidate ran for the office.[6][10]
Candidates for federal, statewide, and state legislative offices must file with the Missouri Secretary of State.[11]
For independent candidates
Like political party candidates, an independent candidate seeking placement on the general election ballot must file a declaration of candidacy and an affidavit affirming that he or she is not delinquent in the payment of any state-owed taxes. The candidate is required to file in person (with the same aforementioned exceptions). Independent candidates, however, are not liable for the payment of any filing fees.[12][13]
Independents must submit nominating petitions with their filing paperwork. Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. For any statewide office, a nominating petition must be signed by at least 10,000 registered voters of the state. If the candidate seeks a district-level office, the petition must be signed by a number of registered voters in the district equal to at least 2 percent of the total number of votes cast at the last election for the office being sought, or 10,000 signatures, whichever is less.[12][13]
The candidate must file all required paperwork (including petitions) by 5:00 p.m. on the 15th Monday immediately preceding the general election for which the petition is submitted. Paperwork cannot be submitted prior to 8:00 a.m. on the day immediately following the general election next preceding the general election for which the petition is submitted.[12][14]
Candidates for federal, statewide, and state legislative offices must file with the Missouri Secretary of State.[11][12]
For write-in candidates
In order to have his or her votes tallied, a write-in candidate must file a declaration of intent with the proper election official by 5:00 p.m. on the second Friday immediately preceding the election. Write-in candidates are not permitted on the primary ballot.[15][16]
Write-in candidates for federal, statewide, and state legislative office must file with the Missouri Secretary of State.[11]

Redistricting following the 2020 census
Missouri completed its legislative redistricting on March 15, 2022, when the state’s Judicial Redistricting Commission filed new state Senate district boundaries with the secretary of state.[21] Missouri was the 43rd state to complete legislative redistricting. The House Independent Bipartisan Citizens Commission unanimously approved the state House’s district boundaries on Jan. 21.[22] These maps took effect for Missouri’s 2022 legislative elections.
Below is the state House map in effect before and after the 2020 redistricting cycle.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Pietzman originally filed to run for the state Senate but officially withdrew before the primary.
- ↑ Walsh originally filed to run for the U.S. House but officially withdrew before the primary.
- ↑ Derges resigned from the legislature after the candidate filing deadline.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
