Updated Mo & St. Louis City Candidate Qualifications, Requirements

2026 is an election year. In Missouri, State Auditor and all US House of Representative seats are up. In St. Louis City, there’s an election for State Senator (open seat due to term limits); all State House seats; County offices of Collector of Revenue, License Collector, Recorder of Deeds; Board of Alders President and all even numbered ward Board of Alders seats; a Community College seat representing southwest City; and two School Board seats up in November.

I tried to update the blog page for information on running for public office in St. Louis City and Missouri but there’s missing information because…

  • City of St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners (appointed by Governor) has not updated their website with information on Spring 2026 filing dates and City does not follow the Missouri Election Calendar which would have had candidate filing open November 4-25. Board President and half of the Board of Alder seats will be on March 3rd ballot
  • St. Louis School Board has no information on November candidate filing process and neither does Board of Election
  • St. Louis Community College Board of Trustees has no information on April Subdistrict 3 candidate filing process and neither does Board of Election
