Missouri voters to decide on more term limits

JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri voters will decide next year whether to impose term limits on all statewide elected officials following action Friday by the Legislature.

Lawmakers gave final approval Friday to a proposed constitutional amendment to limit the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor and attorney general to being elected to two four-year terms.

That would match term limits already in place for the governor and state treasurer. State legislators already are limited to two four-year terms in the Senate and four two-year terms in the House.

The amendment on executive-branch term limits will appear on the November 2020 ballot unless Gov. Mike Parson schedules an earlier vote.
