Missouri currently requires a "supermajority" to
approve general obligation bond issues. Either a two-thirds (66.67%) or
four-sevenths (57.14%) majority is required, depending on when the election is
held. A four-sevenths
majority is required for general-obligation bond issues submitted at regular
elections in April, in August primaries (in even numbered years) and in November general elections
(in even numbered years). At
all other elections, a two-thirds majority is required.
