Summary
The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would force charter counties, specifically St. Louis County, to change their charters so the circuit clerk is chosen by voters rather than appointed. It would repeal the existing Section 18(b) of Article VI and replace it with language mandating an elected circuit clerk, affecting how county government officials are selected.
