The 2015 Dallas municipal election was the most recent mayoral election in Dallas, Texas.[1] The election day was May 9, 2015,[2] and if a runoff election is required, that will be held on June 13, 2015.[3] Incumbent Democrat Mayor Mike Rawlings ran and won re-election to a second term in office[4] against challengers Marcos Ronquillo, an attorney,[5][6] and write-in candidate Richard Sheridan, a retired engineer and anti-gay government activist.[7][8]

Six of the current 14 members of the City Council ran unopposed, but eight other seats were contested. Historically less than 10% of voters participate in Dallas City Council elections [9] although 9 days of early voting were provided [10] from April 27 thru May 5. The Dallas County Elections office has published a map of these polling locations for reference.[11]
