Republican state Sen. Jill Carter spoke in favor of her bill Monday that would return Missouri Republican voters to a system of presidential primaries rather than the caucuses held earlier this month. Motivated by constituent complaints, the bill would reinstate the presidential preference primary election to take place on the first Tuesday of March. The state’s presidential primaries, where voters choose a candidate for president on a private ballot, were eliminated under a law signed by Gov. Mike Parson in 2022. Caucuses then took their place, where voters come together in a communal setting to advocate for a presidential candidate before voting publicly on one.
