|}St. Louis held its first-ever [[approval voting]] primary on March 2, 2021
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.
