On Tuesday, April 4, municipal elections will be held across the St. Louis region including in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County. The outcomes of local municipal elections can have deep impacts on the everyday lives and futures of St. Louisans.

- What were the outcomes of the municipal elections in the St. Louis region?
- How will the outcomes of the elections impact St. Louisans?
- How did voter turnout affect the elections?
- What results were surprising?
- What results were predicted?
