The 2024 Portland mayoral election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the mayor of Portland, Oregon. Businessman Keith Wilson was elected, defeating three city council members and 15 other candidates.
This was the first Portland mayoral election to use ranked-choice voting (Instant-runoff voting) after it was instituted by the passage of a 2022 ballot measure. Municipal elections in Portland are officially nonpartisan, meaning that party affiliations are not listed on the ballot.
On June 12, 2023, Durrell Kinsey Bey became the first candidate to announce his run for mayor. He was followed by City Commissioner Mingus Mapps on July 3, 2023.
On September 13, 2023, incumbent Democratic mayor Ted Wheeler announced that he would not be seeking a third term. In December and January respectively, City Commissioners Rene Gonzalez and Carmen Rubio announced their candidacies as well.
Homelessness and public safety were considered the two most important issues of this election. This election, as well as the City Council election, was a major indication of political shifts in Portland. The previous city council elections saw a shift away from progressives towards slightly more moderate elected officials.
