Missouri Supreme Court orders ballot vote on redrawn congressional map
TL;DR Summary
The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the referendum opposing the 2022 congressional redistricting map is legal and must appear on the November 2026 ballot; HB 1 cannot take effect unless voters approve it, and the existing map remains in place for the 2026 election. The court ordered the secretary of state to issue a sufficiency certificate and place the referendum on the ballot by Sept. 8, blocking use of the map for the 2026 election until voters weigh in.
