Explain it like I'm 5
Lawmakers drew new lines for Missouri's U.S. House districts. A yes vote keeps those lines, while a no vote rejects them and keeps the 2022 map.
Yes vote
Upholding House Bill 1 and its new congressional district map for future elections.
No vote
Repealing House Bill 1 and retaining the congressional map drawn in 2022.
The question to ask yourself
Should Missouri keep the newer legislative map, or retain the 2022 map and reject a mid-decade redraw?
The case for
- The official wording says the new map keeps more counties intact.
- Supporters say the legislature and governor used their authority to update district boundaries.
- Keeping the map settles the referendum in favor of the newer district lines.

The case against
- Opponents say the mid-decade redraw was designed to give Republicans a partisan advantage.

- Money
- State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings, and no tax effect is identified.
- Don't be misled
- Because this is a veto referendum, yes keeps the new map and no rejects it; neither choice changes the 2026 congressional districts.
