Remember that you can vote early at a satellite voting site in south county.
Voters in south county, and all across the state, will be deciding if Missouri becomes the next “right-to-work” state. Read about Proposition A here.
You can read all the Call’s candidate questionnaires here and endorsements here.
Voters in St. Louis County will also be choosing which candidates will be running in the November election against members of the opposing party. Voters can only choose either Democratic of Republican ballots, with no cross-voting.
St. Louis County Charter amendments
You’ll find everything you need to know about the two Charter amendments left on the ballot, Proposition 2 and Proposition 3, right here. A judge yanked Proposition 4, the campaign-finance Charter amendment, off the ballot. It will still appear, but votes won’t be counted.
The Call is endorsing a “no” vote on the two remaining Charter amendments.
St. Louis County Executive (Democratic)
Mark Mantovani vs. Steve Stenger
County Executive Steve Stenger and his challenger, Ladue businessman Mark Mantovani, are making their final pitches to voters. They’ve sparred over a number of issues, including Stenger’s relationship with the County Council and whether it’s made a sudden turnaround, and even the expired terms of county board members.
