Election Day is two days away—and the future of Missouri’s citizen initiative process is on the line.  Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who has given their time to this fight. But the job isn't done. Canvassing and phone banking operations are running full steam through Tuesday.

Direct voter contact is the single most effective tool we have to defeat Amendment 4. Early voting is officially OPEN and time is critical. Here is a checklist of actions you can take to maximize voter contact this week.

There is a massive, statewide movement underway to defeat Amendment 4. Volunteers knocked more than 9,000 doors on Saturday to get out the vote. Organizations across Missouri and across party lines are mobilizing to protect the citizen's initiative petition. Because there’s power in numbers, our volunteers are joining these local canvassing events to get out the vote before election day.

Our amazing team of volunteers are out spreading the word and telling voters how important it is to VOTE NO on Amendment 4 by August 4. Election Day will be here before we know it, and early voting opens July 21. The work we do in the next 3 weeks could determine the fate of our freedom to petition in Missouri.

As we reflect on 250 years of this great experiment in democracy, let's remember one of our greatest freedoms — the freedom to vote — and continue doing the work to protect and defend the rights that those before us struggled for.

Right now, that means defeating Amendment 4. We can stop this latest threat to voter power in Missouri by making sure we show up to vote this summer.

The deadline to register to vote or update your voter registration for the August 4th primary is this Wednesday, July 8th.

Vote NO on Amendment 4 this August—and don't let summer plans get in the way! If you'll be traveling or cannot make it to the polls on August 4, excuse-based mail-in absentee voting is officially open. MOVote.org makes it easy to send your application your local election authority.

Everything we are seeing across Missouri shows this August vote on Amendment 4 will be incredibly close. That is why our canvassing, phone banking, and outreach efforts matter so much. In a summer election with lower turnout, every single conversation we have has a huge impact. That impact is measurable. We know face-to-face canvassing campaigns can shift election outcomes by 3 to 5 percentage points.

Our Vote No on Amendment 4 campaign is officially off to a great start! This weekend, volunteers kicked off our field efforts. Team members went door-to-door in local neighborhoods and connected with folks at community events to spread the word about the threat to citizen-led initiatives on the August ballot.

Our six months of gathering signatures made one thing clear: our real strength is local. To bring our work closer to our communities and involve more voices, we're launching Regional Councils across all 10 regions.

After some well-deserved time to rest and reset, we are moving at lightning speed! From designing sleek new flyers and business cards to preparing our upcoming field launch, the team is working around the clock to prep for the Vote No on 4 campaign.

On Friday, Governor Kehoe officially placed Amendment 4 on our August 4 primary ballot. Make no mistake: our century-old citizen initiative process—our direct voice in Missouri—is under immediate attack. This is a radical rewrite of our state's voting rules.

Respect Missouri Voters opposes politicians’ blatant power grab - Amendment 4 will end majority rule. Vote No on Amendment 4.

In 2026, Missourians could face one of the most crowded ballots in recent history, with seven potential measures, including the Respect Missouri Voters amendment. Although it remains undecided whether these measures will appear on the August or November ballot, with so many issues coming directly from both the legislature and the people, voter confusion is a real concern. That is precisely why the guarantee of clear, fair ballot language is so critical now more than ever.

Last week, we showed Missouri exactly what grassroots power looks like. Together, we formed a box brigade, passing 217 boxes of petitions hand-to-hand into the Secretary of State’s office. Every box that moved down the line was a testament to what we can achieve when we show up for each other.

After months of gathering in the rain, in the cold, outside grocery stores, at community events, and in our neighborhoods—we finally made it to the capital. Yesterday, on May 3, an incredible 367,741 signatures were delivered to the Secretary of State's Office in Jefferson City.

Respect Missouri Voters submits 367,000+ signatures for 2026 constitutional amendment to require all ballot summaries to be clear, fair, and easy to understand 

We know the question on everyone’s mind: Do we have enough signatures? The honest answer is that we are confident we will have enough, but we are still counting and can’t leave anything to chance. 

Today, April 19, marks a big milestone in our campaign: the internal deadline for volunteer gatherers to turn in signatures at a notary event. As we complete the final stages of processing and verifying every single petition, we know there are still many signatures out there in the community. We cannot leave a single name on the table.

To close this gap, our focus for the coming week is simple: Phone Banking!

We are launching an effort to call each and every gatherer to ensure every signature on every petition sheet gets notarized and turned into the campaign.

We have one week left.

Last week, 421 volunteer gatherers delivered 19,000 signatures in just 7 days. Now, imagine the impact if all 1,646 of us who have collected signatures are on the ground at the same time.

We CAN reach our goal. It isn't about working harder; it’s about all of us working at once.

YOU are the difference between guaranteeing our century old right to have our voices heard and watching our freedom to have our say disappear forever.

Together we collected 12,000 signatures at No Kings events last weekend. Keep going strong to get the Respect MO Voters amendment on the ballot this year!
