The Missouri Remove Exception to Requirement for Elected County Assessor Amendment was not on the ballot in Missouri as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.[1]

This amendment would have deleted an exception to the state constitution's requirement that all county assessors be elected officials. The existing exception that this amendment would delete applies to a county with a population of more than 600,000 but less than 700,000.[2]

Jackson County is the only county in Missouri with a population of over 600,000. The next largest county is St. Charles County, which had a population of 405,262 according to the 2020 census.
