With the snapshot, containing the Brigadier Command-System, it is not (easily) possible, to teleport (non-player) entities relative anymore.
I am aware, that the old behavior of the tp command is non-existent anymore and that
tp @e ~ ~1 ~teleporting all entities (including yourself) above yourself is correct, instead of teleporting every entity up relative to itself.
However, doing this with execute is not possible either in the snapshot:
execute as @e at @s run tp ~ ~1 ~or
execute as @e at @s run tp @s ~ ~1 ~Which is in my eyes the way to do it, will give an error message, that a relative teleport requires a player to run.
Therefore the only possible way of doing a relative teleport on something, that isn't a player currently, is by summoning a temporary entity and teleporting to that.
In my eyes, it is a bug, that a relative teleport requires a player as an executor.

If you mean as inexecute as @e at @s run tp @s ~ ~1 ~
then this does not work either and yields the same error.
Okay after some playing around, it does work, if you still have a player as the executor and only change the position as in:execute at @e[type=armor_stand] run tp @e[type=armor_stand] ~ ~1 ~
but the fact, that it requires a player is just an unnecessary annoyance in my opinion...
Also, in order for multiple armor stands not to bunch up, you have to use /execute at @e[type=armor_stand] run tp @e[type=armor_stand,distance=0] ~ ~1 ~
Yeah, it was only an example. Kinda kills of the huge efficiency-gain we got with the @s selector... I really hope this gets changed, and if not I really would love to hear the reason for it, as I do not see a reason for not doing it right now
You need to provide which entities should teleport.
