Petition Signers Must Be Registered Voters, Missouri Supreme Court Rules
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled six to one that petition signers must be registered voters to sign initiative petitions. The decision, favoring Secretary of State James C. Kirkpatrick, reverses a Cole County ruling and states registration is an imperative prerequisite to voting rights for petition signing. Justice Seiler dissented, arguing a liberal reading of initiative provisions is warranted. The ruling does not affect certification of petitions for reform measures on the November ballot.
