2023 St. Louis aldermanic elections

The 2023 St. Louis aldermanic elections were held in two rounds, with nonpartisan blanket approval voting primaries on March 7 and general elections on April 4. All 14 members of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen and the President of the Board of Aldermen were elected. These were the first elections held after Proposition R (2012) came into effect, reducing the number of alderpersons from 28 to 14.

All 14 seats in the St. Louis Board of Aldermen
8 seats needed for a majority

Numerous incumbent alderpersons ran in the newly drawn 14 wards.[a] Some local media outlets used the term "Aldergeddon" in reference to the competitive nature of several incumbents running against each other.[2] Winning candidates in even-numbered wards were elected to four-year terms and winning candidates in odd-numbered wards were elected to two-year terms.[3]

Incumbent Board President Megan Green, a progressive who was first elected in a 2022 special election after the resignation of Lewis Reed, was re-elected to a full four-year term unopposed. Progressive candidates ideologically affiliated with Green and Mayor Tishaura Jones won a majority of seats on the Board.[4]
