mayoral races
City leadership contests
Mayoral races are electoral contests for the position of mayor—the chief executive of a city or town.
The term appears most often in political coverage: Three mayoral races in the region remain too close to call.
Like other compound election terms (gubernatorial races, Senate races), it treats the office as an adjective modifying the competition.
