Missouri - Missouri Secretary of State
Program Title
Petition Management System
Program Summary
The Missouri Secretary of States Office migrated a paper-based initiative process to a new web-based Petition Management System, making for significant savings in state and local resources. The software was uniquely developed by employees of the SOS Information Technology Division in close consultation with the Elections Division. The Petition Management System made the petition process more transparent to the public and streamlined processing. In addition to saving valuable time and speeding up processes, the Petition Management System also eliminated the need to hire temporary or less-seasoned staff to process this information.
