Missouri never had a secession referendum.

Nor did South Carolina or Mississippi or Florida or Alabama or most other southern states. Like them, Missouri had a convention to decide the issue.

The elected State Legislature did, however, adopt a secession ordinance in October.

An impeached governor and a rump legislature.

...and the only government in the state of Missouri that had actually been elected by the people.
