Shall there be a convention to revise and amend the Constitution?
A “yes” vote will require the governor to call an election of delegates to serve at a convention for the purpose of revising or amending the Missouri Constitution. Any revisions or amendments will then be put to a vote of the people for their
consideration.
A “no” vote will mean no constitutional convention will be held. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
