Missouri Constitutional Amendment 8

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to support law enforcement by preserving the right of citizens to elect a county sheriff, prohibiting the removal of a county sheriff except by a writ of quo
warranto, and recognizing the office of sheriff as part of the administration of justice?

A "yes" vote supports requiring the election of county officials in most counties, establishing sheriffs as the chief law enforcement officers in their respective counties, and limiting the removal of sheriffs from office.

A "no" vote would oppose the election requirement in most counties and limit the removal of sheriffs from office.
