mayoral elections

City leader votes

Mayoral elections are the voting processes by which citizens choose their city's mayor.

The term typically appears in news coverage of local politics: Turnout in mayoral elections tends to be lower than in presidential years.

Some cities hold mayoral elections on their own calendar, separate from state or national cycles.
