HB 3013 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Moves local elections to the primary election day

HB 3013 requires counties to hold elections for planning commission members during regular countywide primary elections instead of separate local votes. This affects county planning commissions and township voters in counties that have adopted or choose to adopt county planning and zoning. The bill mandates that voters in each township elect one member during the primary election, with staggered terms of two or four years. Elected members replace previously appointed commissioners, streamlining the process for local governance.
