The Ferguson-Florissant School District Board election in April 2025 will be conducted by cumulative voting, a change ordered by the federal court. In cumulative voting, voters cast as many votes as there are seats. Voters are not limited to giving only one vote to a candidate. Instead, they can give their votes to one or more candidates. For instance, in this election for two open board seats, voters could choose to give one vote each to two different candidates, one vote to one and one vote to another candidate, or two votes to a single candidate.
