Missouri voters have approved a state constitutional amendment that will create
a new position of nonpartisan demographer to draw state House and Senate
boundaries.
Amendment 1, the so-called "Clean Missouri" measure, requires the demographer
to draw legislative boundaries based on the 2020 Census using criteria intended
to achieve partisan fairness. Maps will be submitted for approval to bipartisan
commissions, which will have less leeway than in the past to draft their own
plans.
The measure also limits lobbyist gifts to lawmakers, makes legislative records
open to the public, lowers campaign contribution limits for legislative
candidates and lengthens the time lawmakers must wait after leaving office
before becoming lobbyists
