August 4th, 2026 is a major election for Missouri, and funding for Missouri State Parks is at stake.

Key Points

  • Our next statewide election is August 4th, 2026
  • Amendment 1 is on the ballot and funds two key programs:
    • State Parks & Historic Sites
    • Soil & Water Conservation
  • Amendment 1 maintains our existing statewide one-tenth-of-one-percent sales tax, and no new taxes are added
  • We urge you to vote YES on Amendment 1 on August 4!

Vote 'Yes on 1' on August 4th

Amendment 1's history runs deep in Missouri. First introduced in 1984, the sales tax has been renewed by Missourians every ten years since its introduction. During the most recent renewal in 2016, the State Parks, Soil & Water Sales Tax was approved by voters in every single Missouri county. Without a renewal, funding for key programs will expire in 2028.
