St. Louis Gears Up for a Pivotal Mayoral Election in 2025

ST. LOUIS, MO (STL.News) As St. Louis prepares for its upcoming mayoral election on April 8, 2025, the race has gained momentum by selecting two finalists following a competitive primary. The election, a crucial moment for the city, will determine its next leader as residents face crime-related issues, economic development, and public services.

This election follows the city’s nonpartisan approval voting system, which was first implemented in 2021. Under this system, voters can approve multiple candidates in the primary, and the two with the highest number of votes advance to the general election. After the primary on March 4, current Mayor Tishaura Jones and Alderwoman Cara Spencer emerged as the leading candidates, setting up a rematch of their 2021 contest.
