St. Louis Post-Dispatch: St. Louis bill would end 2-candidate 'nobody loses' primaries

Written By Show Me Integrity

ST. LOUIS — Candidates in two-person races for city offices could skip a primary and run only in the general election under a plan to be submitted Thursday to the Board of Aldermen….

Four people active in the campaign to pass the “approval voting” measure in 2020 issued a statement Wednesday applauding Clark Hubbard “for proposing a common-sense approach” but stopped short of endorsing the change.

“We look forward to continuing the conversation with the Board of Aldermen on any changes, including potentially sending this to a vote of the people,” they said.

Among the four were representatives of Show Me Integrity, St. Louis Approves and the League of Women Voters’ St. Louis city unit.
