initiative process

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins blocked two ballot measures from appearing on the November 2020 ballot, claiming they are unconstitutional. The measures aimed to force a referendum on a congressional redistricting map and to limit legislative power over initiative measures. A political action committee submitted over 300,000 signatures for each proposal, but Hoskins asserted the state constitution does not permit referendums on redistricting and that one amendment violated single-subject requirements.
