St. Louis held it's 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. The top three candidates (Tishaura Jones, Cara Spencer, and Lewis Reed) declared their party preference "[[Democratic Party]]" and Andrew Jones declared his party preference "[[Republican Party]]". Because they received the largest number of votes of approval, Jones (Tishuara) and Spencer advanced to the general election. Reed and Jones (Andrew), as well as all other candidates, were eliminated from consideration.
