Turkey held a presidential election on May 14, 2023. Parties that had polled as much as 5% of the vote in the preceding parliamentary election were on the ballot automatically. Others needed 100,000 signatures by March 27. Eleven candidates tried to petition, but only two obtained enough signatures. Four candidates were on the ballot: two qualified under the 5% vote test, and two by petition.

No one received a majority, so there is a run-off on March 28. Here is the wikipedia page about the election.

On May 12, the Missouri legislature adjourned, without passing bills that would have made it more difficult for statewide initiatives to get on the ballot or to pass. The bills that failed to pass include HJR 43, which would have raised the vote needed to pass a constitutional amendment from a majority, to either 57% or 60%.

Also SB 102 and SB 490, both of which would have required initiative circulators to be registered Missouri voters, failed to pass. SB 490 would also have banned paying circulators per-signature. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news.

The Missouri legislature has now adjourned. A last-minute attempt to revive the presidential primaries failed to pass, so in 2024, Missouri will be the most populous state in the nation to be without presidential primaries. Caucuses will be used. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news.
