On the Ballot 2025

In 2025, local voters will be selecting a mayor in the November general election. This year's winner will serve a one-time, three-year term. Voters will also be voting on a school referendum and a question on administrative citations.

A special election was held on Aug. 12 for the Ward 4 seat vacated by the resignation of Mitra Jalali in February. Molly Coleman was elected and sworn in shortly after.

On Feb. 11, there was a special election for the District 4 Ramsey County Commissioner following the resignation of Trista Martinson, who took a job with the county. On the ballot were Joshua David Bau and Garrison McMurtrey. Voters elected McMurtrey, the county's first Black male commissioner.

On Nov. 5, 2024, St. Paul voters approved a shift in city elections (mayor and city council) from odd to even years. On Dec. 3, the Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) Board of Education voted 6-1 to move their elections to even years in line with city elections. This means there will not be a school board election in 2025 and that current board members’ terms will be extended by one year. The next school board race will occur in November 2026.
