JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office formally certified the state’s November 2024 general election results on Thursday morning, which included three voter-approved constitutional amendments.

In the Nov. 5, 2024 election, a majority of Missouri voters approved Amendments 2, 3, and 7 to be added to the state constitution. These amendments respectively lay the groundwork to legalize sports betting, establish abortion protections, and explicitly ban non-citizen and ranked-choice voting in the state of Missouri.
