Kander Announces Recount Results for Constitutional Amendment 1

 

Jefferson City, Mo. — Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander today announced the certified results of the statewide recount of Constitutional Amendment 1, which appeared on Missouri’s August 5th primary election ballot.

 

The final results of the recount confirmed the passage of Amendment 1. The difference between the “yes” votes and the “no” votes after the recount is 2,375 votes, and before the recount it was 2,490.

 

For the first time ever, Missourians were able to follow the recount process thanks to a webpage established by Kander’s office to increase accessibility and transparency. The page showed the recount schedule established by the local election authorities, each local election authorities’ report of findings and a summary of recount results.
