These county elections typically occur in even-numbered years, with county executive and council races following specific term schedules.

The November 3, 2026 general election will be a critical midterm election for Labadie and Franklin County voters. While Missouri's U.S. Senate seats are not scheduled for election in 2026 (Missouri's Class 1 seat was last elected in 2024, and Class 3 in 2022), voters will decide numerous important races. No Missouri U.S. Senate seat is up in 2026. However, all of Missouri's eight U.S. House seats will be on the ballot, including the district representing Franklin County (currently the 3rd Congressional District). State-level races in 2026 will not include Governor (next elected in 2028) but will include all 163 Missouri House of Representatives seats and approximately half of the 34 Missouri Senate seats, depending on district rotation. Franklin County voters will elect state representatives and potentially a state senator depending on their legislative district. County-level offices that may appear on the 2026 ballot include various county commission or council seats, depending on term expirations, as well as county department heads and judges facing retention elections. Voters should consult the Franklin County Election Authority website as the election approaches for a sample ballot showing all races specific to their precinct.
