Municipal elections will be held in San Diego in 2024, for mayor, city attorney, and city council. The primary election occurred Tuesday, March 5, 2024, and the general election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Five of the nine council seats are up for election, with all five incumbents standing for re-election, as well as incumbent mayor Todd Gloria.[1][2][3] A special election was also held at the time of the primary to fill the District 4 seat vacated by Monica Montgomery Steppe, who was elected to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan, although most members do identify a party preference. A two-round system is used for the elections, starting with primaries in March followed by runoff elections in November between the top-two candidates in each race.
