Missouri to Vote on Abortion Rights, Sports Betting, and Minimum Wage in November

Missouri voters will have the opportunity to decide on several key issues this November, including the legalization of abortion, sports betting, and an increase in the minimum wage. The state's Secretary of State has confirmed that these initiatives will appear on the ballot, following successful citizen-led petition drives. Amendment 2 aims to legalize sports betting, while Amendment 3 seeks to remove the state's ban on abortion, ensuring a woman's right to choose and access to contraceptives without government interference. Additionally, Proposition A proposes an increase in the minimum wage. Notably, a proposal to award a license for a riverboat casino on the Lake of the Ozarks was not approved for the ballot.
