 Missouri Bond Elections

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.
