The 2021 election will be the first under new rules established by the passage of Proposition D on Nov. 3. The posts are now nonpartisan, and voters can select as many candidates as they want in the March primary, a process known as approval voting. The top two advance to the April general election.

But one item St. Louis voters will see on their Nov. 3 ballots could change that pattern in a big way: Proposition D. Touted by proponents as a minor change for voters that would mean a big improvement for St. Louis, the measure would establish a nonpartisan election system for the offices of mayor, comptroller, the president of the Board of Aldermen and aldermen.
