Mayoral Elections

17 of the largest 100 cities by population will have elections for mayor on the same day as the 2022 midterms. Population rankings are based on July 1, 2021 Census Bureau population estimates. They are for the city itself, not the associated metropolitan area.

While most of these elections are officially nonpartisan, the party affiliation of the current mayor is listed.
