Missouri voters passed a majority of proposed ballot measures, amended the state constitution to guarantee abortion rights, legalized sports gambling in the state and more.

Proposal A: Minimum wage and required paid sick leave

Passed. Missourians voted to increase Missouri's state minimum wage to $13.75 an hour in 2025 and to $15 an hour in 2026. The proposal also requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked.

Government agencies, political subdivisions, school districts, and educational institutions are not subject to the minimum wage increase.

Change 2: Sports Betting

Passed. Just over half of Missouri voters supported legalizing sports betting in the state, according to unofficial results reported Wednesday morning by the Missouri Secretary of State's Office. All districts reported this. Similar measures in the state parliament failed over several sessions.

Change 2 had the support of Missouri sports organizations, including the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs. Anyone aged 21 or over can bet both online and in person at casinos and professional sportsbooks.

Amendment 3: Abortion

Passed. Missouri voters enshrined the right to abortion in the state constitution. The amendment lifts a ban on the procedure and ensures people's right to an abortion and other reproductive rights decisions.

The amendment's passage is a major loss for Missouri Republicans, who have made opposition to abortion rights a central part of their agenda since taking over the General Assembly in the early 2000s.

Change 5: Lake of the Ozarks Casino

Failed. Missouri voters narrowly rejected granting an additional gambling boat license beyond the state's 13-license limit, which would pave the way for construction of a casino in Lake of the Ozarks. All counties are reporting, according to unofficial results reported Wednesday morning by the Missouri Secretary of State's Office.

Despite the failure of the measure, there could soon be another casino in the area. The Osage Nation has said it is interested in opening one near Lake of the Ozarks.

Amendment 6: Court fees to fund law enforcement retirement benefits

Failed. Voters rejected allowing the Missouri court system to collect costs and fees at trials to fund salaries and benefits for current and former sheriffs, prosecutors and district attorneys.

Amendment 7: Ban ranked-choice voting and non-citizen voting

Approved. Missouri voters added a constitutional provision preventing ranked-choice voting. Additionally, there is a redundant provision in the ballot language that states that non-citizens cannot vote in a Missouri election – which is already illegal at the federal level and in Missouri.

The change grants an exception to cities that already use ranked-choice voting in nonpartisan local elections, which includes the City of St. Louis' approval voting system.
