Text of measure

Ballot title

The ballot title for Question 2 was as follows:

“

Shall the Board of Education of Raytown C-2 School District be authorized to increase the ceiling of the operating tax levy to $5.1994 per $100 of assessed valuation according to the 2023 assessment for the purpose of paying general operating expenses of the District? If this question is approved, it is estimated that overall tax levy of the District will remain unchanged as the operating tax levy is expected to increase by $0.17 per $100 of assessed valuation with an expected corresponding reduction to its debt service property tax levy. This is expected to result in zero increase of the District’s current total property tax levy.

”

Path to the ballot

Missouri does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment. Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. One state, Ohio, requires proof of citizenship only when registering to vote at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles facility. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
