Creates new provisions to prohibit foreign interference in Missouri Elections

Missouri's SJR 61 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit foreign interference in state elections. It would make it unlawful for foreign governments, non-citizens, or foreign entities to directly or indirectly contribute money, gifts, or resources to influence candidates, ballot measures, judicial elections, or political parties. The amendment also imposes penalties, including revoking lobbyists' registrations, disqualifying public officials from pensions, and potential felony charges for knowingly aiding violations involving foreign adversaries. This measure requires voter approval in the 2026 election to take effect.
