Primary petition drive sets in Missouri proposing presidential primary
Local organizers push a nonpartisan effort to place a Missouri Presidential Primary on the November ballot. Sworn petitions require about five percent of registered voters in each party to trigger a party primary, with approximately 50 candidates potentially listed for president. Signers are not bound to support a candidate, and delegates would be bound only if the candidate wins sufficient support. The plan would hold a state wide primary to choose delegates for the national conventions.
