Missouri, statewide: May 22, 2026, Governor Kehoe announced the official election dates for upcoming votes on ballot questions, including the new abortion ban, Amendment 3. November 3rd, 2026 Missourians will once again be asked whether or not to ban abortion.
Statement from Karissa Anderson Whitted, AAM Board President: “Ever since Missourians voted to stop the last abortion ban, politicians have pulled every trick out of their bag to try to overturn our votes, repeal our Right to Reproductive Freedom, and ban abortion again.
Missourians from all across the state and across the political spectrum worked hard to collect more than 380,000 signatures, knock hundreds of thousands of doors, and earn 1.5 million votes in 2024 to legalize abortion––politicians shouldn’t get to overturn the work and the votes of the people just because they don’t like what we decided.
This is the Show Me State––and we will show those politicians that no means no when we stop another abortion ban at the ballot box. We’ll see them in [Aug/ Nov] when we Vote NO on 3.
