SJR 10 - Currently, the Missouri Constitution requires any constitutional amendment or new constitution to be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast on the measure. This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, requires any constitutional amendment or new constitution to be approved by both a simple majority of the votes cast on the measure statewide and a simple majority of the votes cast in a majority of the state representative districts.

Additionally, no person shall be eligible to vote on any measure submitted to the people that amends, repeals, or replaces this constitution, whether submitted through the initiative petition process, by the General Assembly, or by a constitutional convention, unless such person is a legal resident of the state of Missouri and a citizen of the United States of America.

This constitutional amendment is identical to SJR 61 (2024), a provision in SJR 83 (2024), SJR 28 (2023), and SJR 33 (2023), substantially similar to SJR 48 (2024), SJR 59 (2024), and SJR 74 (2024), and similar to provisions in SJR 2 (2023), SJR 10 (2023), SJR 17 (2023), HJR 18 (2023), HCS/HJR 30 (2023), and HJR 40 (2023).
