St. Louis Voters Pass Initiative for Non-Partisan City Elections


Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.

St. Louis, Missouri Voters Passed an Initiative, St. Louis Proposition D, to Switch their City Elections to Non-Partisan Elections.

The New System Permits Voters to Vote for as Many Candidates as they wish, a System called Approval Voting.

Approval Voting is a Single-Winner Electoral System where Each Voter may Select, "Approve" any Number of Candidates.

The Winner is the Most-Approved Candidate.

It is Related to Score Voting in which Voters give each Option a Score on a Scale, and the Option with the Highest Total of Scores is Selected.

It is Distinct from Plurality Voting in which a Voter may Choose only One Option among Several, whereby the Option with the most Votes is Chosen, even Absent a Majority.
