The 2026 Missouri Primary Election is today, and voting is open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters can find their district and closest polling location on the Boone County Clerk’s website. 

Here is what Boone County voters will see on the ballot:

Amendments

Amendment 1

Shall Missouri continue for 10 years the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that is used for soil and water conservation and for state parks and historic sites, and resubmit this tax to the voters for approval in 10 years?

YES: Voting “yes” would continue the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax for another 10 years. That revenue is used to help fund state parks and historical sites as well as soil and water conservation.

NO: Voting “no” would not continue the sales/use tax.

Amendment 2

Require all charter counties, including Jackson County, to provide for the election of a county assessor; and require assessors in all charter counties to comply with any training requirements established by general law?

YES: Voting “yes” will change the Missouri Constitution to require all charter counties to elect a county assessor, which must comply with any training requirements established by state law.

NO: Voting “no” will not change the Missouri Constitution and will continue not requiring charter county assessors to comply with training requirements.

Amendment 4

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: Modify current requirements that a statewide majority of voters may approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution; Require a majority of voters in each congressional district to approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution; and make available to each voter the full text of initiative petitions with their ballot?

YES: Voting “yes” would make it harder for initiative petitions to become state law. Current law requires only a simple majority for citizen-led initiatives to pass. Amendment 4 would require the majority of voters in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts to approve initiative petitions.

NO: Voting “no” would not change the Missouri Constitution and would not require the full text of initiative petitions on each voter’s ballot.

Amendment 5

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: Require legislative phase-out of the individual state income tax based on revenue growth, and authorize the expansion of sales and use taxes; Curtail constitutional limits on taxing goods and services; and Require local tax rate cuts without reducing school funding if local sales tax revenue increases?

YES: Voting “yes” would amend the state constitution to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate the state individual income tax as revenue grows. It would also reduce certain local property taxes when local revenues increase while protecting funding for public schools. Once the income tax is eliminated, the state could not bring it back. Voting yes would also limit new sales and use taxes unless they are used to reduce the income tax.

NO: Voting “no” will not amend the Missouri Constitution to phase out the state income tax and not authorize the expansion of sales and use taxes.

Proposition 1

Shall the municipality of Columbia, Missouri impose an additional citywide sales tax at a rate of one percent, solely for the purpose of providing revenues to improve public safety for the city, which shall be limited to expenditures on equipment, salaries and benefits, and facilities for police and fire departments?
