A Missouri Voter I.D. Amendment did not make the November 4, 2014 election ballot in Missouri as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure, known in the legislature as Senate Joint Resolution No. 31, would have allow for photo identification to be required when voting. The proposal was sponsored by Sen. Will Kraus (R-8). Kraus also sponsored a bill in the legislature that would have impose a voter ID requirement, but it was not approved by either chamber.[1]
Support
Sen. Will Kraus was the primary sponsor of the measure.[1]
Opposition
Secretary of State Jason Kander (D) expressed opposition toward the measure, saying the bill was "not only just wrong, but unconstitutional." Other opponents included Gov. Jay Nixon (D).[1]
Path to the ballot

At the time of SJR 31's introduction, either chamber of the Missouri General Assembly was allowed to propose an amendment. A majority of members of both chambers were required to approve it in order to place it on a statewide ballot for a popular vote of the people. SJR 31 was not approved by either chamber before the end of the 2014 legislative session.[2]
