- Local elections were held throughout the canton of St. Gallen.
- In the city of St. Gallen there is a second vote for the city council. All previous St. Gallen city councils were re-elected.
- In the city of Wil there is also a second vote in the town hall. Even for the city council, no one achieved an absolute majority.
As expected, the St. Gallen city council needs a second vote. SP candidate Maria Pappa received the most votes.
Whoever wants to join the city council must be elected at the same time to the St. Gallen city council.

The former St. Gallen city council in its entirety is re-elected, as the city reports. Markus Buschor (independent), Peter Jans (SP), Sonja Lüthi (GLP) and Maria Pappa (SP) easily achieved an absolute majority. None of the other candidates made it to city hall on the first try. A second vote is required for the remaining seat.

No elected city council in Wil
Neither for the Wiler city council nor for the city council has anyone achieved that absolute more. In both cases there will be a second vote.
Town Hall Wil
| Names | Votes 1st ballot |
|---|---|
| Absolutely more | 3712 |
| Hans Mäder (CVP) | 2884 |
| Dario Sulzer (SP) | 2116 |

In Wil, the former city president, Susanne Hartmann (CVP), was elected to the government of St. Gallen in the spring. The mayor of Eschlikon TG, Hans Mäder (CVP) and the two former councilors Daniel Meili of the FDP and Dario Sulzer of the SP are standing for election as successors. Neither candidate achieved an absolute majority on the first ballot.
Ten people stood in the elections for the city council. Because the votes were widely distributed, no one achieved an absolute majority. The second ballot is on November 29.
