Proposes a constitutional amendment that allows children of U.S. citizens and Missouri residents born abroad to register to vote in Missouri
HJR 95 proposes amending Missouri's state constitution to allow children of U.S. citizens (who are eligible to vote in Missouri) born outside the United States to register to vote as Missouri residents. This change directly affects individuals born abroad to U.S. citizen parents who reside in Missouri and meet standard voter residency requirements. The bill adds a specific provision to Missouri's voting eligibility rules, explicitly stating that children born outside the U.S. shall not be excluded from registration if their parent is a U.S. citizen eligible to vote in Missouri. The amendment would take effect after voter approval at a future election, modifying existing constitutional language that previously excluded such individuals from voting registration.
