In our League's service area, primary and general elections for municipal officials, special district officials, and propositions will be occurring in March and April, 2025. A brief description of each county's plans follows. If you need more detail, you should consult your county's election authority. Conact information is found at the bottom of our Vote page.
In the City of St. Louis, the March 4 primary will feature choices for Mayor, Comptroller, and the alderpersons serving the odd-numbered wards. City voters should be aware that there is no March primary election contest for alderpersons when there are two or fewer candidates. The Board of Election Commissioners asks that you consider in-person, no-excuse absentee voting, already underway at the election board’s office and these libraries: Buder, Carpenter, Divoll, Kingshighway, Schafly, and Walnut Park. Hours are 11 am-5 pm Mondays, 11 am-5 pm Tuesdays-Thursdays, and 11 am-4:30 pm Fridays and Saturdays. The League’s vote411.org website showing voting information and the candidates’ responses to our questionnaire is now live for the March primary.
Approval voting will result in a general municipal election in the City on April 8, and three seats on the St Louis Public Schools Board of Education will also be on the April ballot.
