Inititiative Launched to Convert St. Louis City Elections from Partisan to Non-Partisan

A group in St. Louis, Missouri, has launched a city initiative to convert the city’s elections for its own officers from partisan to non-partisan elections. The initiative proposes an election, followed by a runoff election if no one gets 50% in the election. The election would use approval voting, letting voters vote for as many candidates for any particular office as they wish. The initiative needs signatures equal to 10% of the registered voters, which would be approximately 22,000 signatures. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news.
