ST. LOUIS — St. Louis participated in its first nonpartisan primary election Tuesday to select the candidates that would appear on the ballot in April's general election.
Along with the race for Mayor and Comptroller, 16 aldermanic wards were picking who would advance.
Nine of the 16 aldermanic races featured two or fewer candidates, meaning all the candidates advanced to the general election. In the other seven, the top two vote-getters advanced to the general election.
The results are as follows. The percentages are the percent of voters who voted for each candidate. The percentages may add up to more than 100% because voters could vote for as many candidates as they wanted. Candidates advancing to the general election are in bold:
