St. Louis City 2024 Election Results

St. Louis voters will face important decisions at the polls on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, with a ballot featuring both national races and significant local propositions.

Local Ballot Measures

Proposition B: Budget Control

Would grant the Board of Aldermen more authority over budget modifications without requiring Board of Estimate and Apportionment approval. Changes must maintain a balanced budget and cannot affect state-mandated funding or city debt obligations.

Proposition T: Transportation Department

Proposes transforming the city’s Street Department into a comprehensive Department of Transportation, consolidating services including street maintenance, waste removal, and transportation planning. If approved, changes would take effect in five years.

Proposition V: Vacant Property Fines

Would remove the current $500 cap on fines for vacant and non-owner-occupied properties with code violations, allowing for higher penalties on neglected properties.

Proposition S: Housing Initiative

Would impose a 3% fee on short-term rentals (Airbnb, Vrbo) to fund affordable housing initiatives. At least 50% of proceeds would support the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, with remaining funds allocated to housing assistance and eviction prevention.

Major Races

Presidential Race: Vice President Kamala Harris (D) vs. former President Donald Trump (R)

U.S. Senate: Incumbent Josh Hawley (R) vs. Lucas Kunce (D)

Governor: Mike Kehoe (R) vs. Crystal Quade (D)

Missouri voters will also decide on constitutional amendments regarding abortion rights and voting methods, making this a particularly consequential election for the state’s future.
