|}St. Louis held its first-ever [[approval voting]] primary on March 2, 2021. Lewis E. Reed and Andrew Jones (a [[Republican Party]] candidate) were eliminated. The new approval-based primary was a non-partisan election, though candidates were allowed to state their party preference on the ballot. TheThree topof threethe candidates (Tishaura Jones, Cara Spencer, and Lewis Reed) all declared their party preference "[[Democratic Party]]". and AndrewTishaura Jones declaredwas histhe partyTreasurer preferenceof "[[RepublicanSt. Party]]"Louis since 2013.

Because they received the largest number of votes of approval (thus having the highest approval rating as measured by the ballots), Tishuara Jones and Cara Spencer advanced to the general election. Lewis E. Reed (who also preferred the [[Democratic Party]]) and Andrew Jones (who preferred the [[Republican Party]]) were not allowed to have their name printed on the general election ballot.
 
Reed was the President of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen since 2007, and a candidate for mayor in 2013 and 2017 (see [[w:2013 St. Louis mayoral election]] and [[w:2017 St. Louis mayoral election]] on English Wikipedia).
