SJR 82 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the General Assembly

SJR 82 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri's House of Representatives districts are drawn. It creates an independent bipartisan citizens commission to redraw districts after each census, replacing the current legislative process. The commission must follow strict rules: districts must be nearly equal in population (within 1% deviation), comply with voting rights laws, preserve communities where possible, and meet partisan fairness standards (limiting wasted votes to 15% difference between parties). This would directly affect Missouri voters by changing district boundaries for state legislative elections starting in 2026.
