Research in the early 1960s found that Republican candidates benefited from the presence of legally nonpartisan ballots in municipal elections. Using a nationwide sample of almost 1,000 city council members, this thesis is reexamined in the context of the urban environment of the 1980s. Probit analysis is used to test the effect of partisan ballots on the partisan identification of council members. The partisan biases of nonpartisanship remain under some circumstances, but the changing nature of urban politics and the growth of new political forces appear to have substantially mitigated these biases
