Secretary of State Jason Kander announced Wednesday that a joint resolution on voter identification requirements has been certified for the November 2016 ballot.

The official ballot title for Constitutional Amendment 6 (HJR 53) reads:

Shall the Constitution of Missouri be amended to state that voters may be required by law, which may be subject to exception, to verify one’s identity, citizenship, and residence by presenting identification that may include valid government-issued photo identification?

The Missouri Constitution empowers the General Assembly to refer proposed constitutional amendments and general laws to voters. The amendment will take effect if a majority of voters approve.
