 Elected Mayor

TBD

The 2016 Portland mayoral election will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016 to elect the 53rd mayor of Portland, Oregon.[1] Incumbent mayor Charlie Hales will not seek a second term.[2]

Municipal elections in Oregon are non-partisan. The non-partisan primary will be held on May 17, 2016. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote in the primary, he or she will be declared elected and no election will be held in November. If no candidate receives a majority, the two candidates with the greatest number of votes will compete in the November runoff.[3] The first day to file as a candidate was September 10, 2015, and candidates must file before March 8, 2016.[4]

Fifteen candidates will appear on the primary ballot; those deemed "viable" by Oregonian reporter Brad Schmidt, and who were named in a December 2015 poll, are Jules Bailey and Ted Wheeler.[5][6]

Withdrawn

The deadline for withdrawing from the race was March 11, 2016.[4] Incumbent mayor Charlie Hales was widely seen as the frontrunner in the election, announcing his bid for reelection in March 2015.[35][36] In an unexpected move in October 2015, however, Hales announced he would drop his reelection bid and focus on running the city during his final year in office.[2][37][38][39]
