Missouri voters support measures that would ensure voters have the opportunity to hear details about ballot initiatives and be well-informed. Roughly eight in 10 likely voters of all parties (79%) support requiring sponsors of new ballot initiatives to hold a public hearing in each county so voters may learn details about the proposals and ask questions.
Voters also strongly support measures that would ensure those collecting signatures and signing petitions have a vested interest in the state. Eighty percent of likely voters, including majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, support requiring those who collect signatures to be registered to vote in Missouri, and 80 percent also support requiring anyone who signs a petition to be a U.S. citizen.
