Mayoral primary on March 4
Voters in the Tuesday mayoral primary are reminded that they will not receive a party ballot. For the second time since Proposition D was passed by city voters in 2020, all candidates are listed as nonpartisan.
In the “ranked preference” balloting, voters can vote for as many candidates as they choose, and the two candidates with the most votes for each office will move on to the general municipal election on April 8, according to the St. Louis Board of Elections Commissioners.
The deadline to register to vote in the March 4 primary has passed. However, prospective voters should take action to register by March 12 to vote in the April 8 election.
You must be 17 and ½ years old to register and 18 years old by Election Day to vote. You must be a St. Louis resident to vote in the city election.
