Election 2023

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen's 6th Ward alderwoman is the first Latina to serve in the legislative body.

Voters in both Manchester and an unincorporated area of St. Louis County needed to approve the annexation plan for it to pass.

The three cities join more than 40 others and four counties in the St. Louis area to pass a 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana.

Charles Powell III defeated Mayor Robert Eastern III, who was running for his second term, and Marie Franklin in Tuesday’s election.

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones’ allies won a majority of seats on the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday.

St. Louis voters also narrowly approved a regular review of the charter, the city’s governing document, and authorized a 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana.

St. Louis and St. Louis County are among the jurisdictions where voters approved the tax, but there are questions about the scope of countywide marijuana taxes.

The April 4 election will determine the representatives of St. Louis' new 14-ward Board of Aldermen. In addition to selecting legislative representatives at City Hall, voters will also decide on a sales tax on marijuana and whether to create a commission to regularly review the city’s charter.
