The 2023 St. Louis aldermanic elections were held in two rounds, with nonpartisan blanket approval voting primaries on March 7 and general elections on April 4.

Numerous incumbent alderpersons ran in the newly-drawn 14 wards.[lower-alpha 1] Some local media outlets used the term "Aldergeddon" in reference to the competitive nature of several incumbents running against each other.[2] Winning candidates in even-numbered wards were elected to four-year terms and winning candidates in odd-numbered wards were elected to two-year terms.[3]
Incumbent Board President Megan Green, a progressive who was first elected in a 2022 special election after the resignation of Lewis Reed, was re-elected to a full four-year term unopposed. Progressive candidates ideologically affiliated with Green and Mayor Tishaura Jones won a majority of seats on the Board.[4]
Declared
- Megan Green, incumbent president of the board of aldermen (2022–present) and former 15th ward alderwoman (2014–22)[5][6]
