Louis City Board of Election Commissioners. Official notices confirm elections in municipalities including Webster Groves, Town and Country, Des Peres, Crestwood, Sunset Hills, Overland, and Arnold. Ballots will decide mayoral and council seats and proposed changes to local charters. ## Key Voting Dates and Deadlines The St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners has set the following deadlines after the March 11 registration cutoff: In-person, no-excuse absentee voting begins March 24, 2026. The last day to request an absentee ballot by mail is March 25, 2026. The final day for any in-person absentee voting is April 6, 2026. On Election Day, April 7, a document from the St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners specifies that all mail-in ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Voters casting ballots in person must also be in line at their polling place by 7 p.m. ## Contests and Questions on Local Ballots Public records detail the specific contests and questions on local ballots. A city notice for Webster Groves indicates voters will elect one Mayor and three Council Members. In Crestwood, the ballot will feature four proposed amendments to the City Charter, which a city announcement states were recommended by the 2025 Crestwood Charter Review Commission and approved by the Board of Aldermen. A detailed list of candidates from the City of Sunset Hills shows incumbent Mayor Patricia Fribis is running for re-election. The city’s records also show contested races for aldermanic seats in all four wards. In Ward 1, Natalie Akins and Frank Hardy have filed. In Ward 2, Greg Zveitel and Mark Schwarz are challenging incumbent Casey F. Wong. In Ward 3, Angie Weigel is running against incumbent Kurtis Krueger. In Ward 4, Cathy Friedmann has filed to run against incumbent Mark Colombo. ## What Public Records Don't Yet Show Public notices from some municipalities lack complete election information. For example, announcements from Town and Country, Des Peres, and Overland state that candidate lists are available but do not include the lists in the provided documents. A notice from the City of Arnold confirms the candidate filing period ended December 30, 2025, but the document does not name the candidates who filed. The Crestwood city announcement about the four charter propositions does not provide the specific text of the amendments or an analysis of their effects. Records also do not specify polling locations or hours for any of the suburban municipalities mentioned. This information may be available on individual municipal websites.
