HB 694 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions for obtaining electronic signatures on initiative petitions

HB 694 allows voters to submit electronic signatures instead of handwritten ones on initiative and referendum petitions. Voters must provide their registered name, address, county, date of birth, and a unique state-issued ID via a dedicated state website. The secretary of state and local election offices must accept valid electronic signatures that match voter records, eliminating the need for notarization or circulator signatures. The bill requires audit trails tracking submission details (like IP addresses and timestamps) to verify signatures and prevent fraud.
