The 2024 San Diego mayoral election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to elect the mayor of San Diego, California. The primary election was held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, after which incumbent mayor Todd Gloria and police officer Larry Turner advanced to the general election.
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.
In February 2024, San Diego resident Helen Michelle VanDiver filed a lawsuit alleging that candidate Larry Turner was not a resident or registered voter in the city prior to filing his nominating papers, claiming instead that he was primarily living in El Cajon. Turner denied the allegations, stating that he and his family have lived in East Village since early 2023. Judge James Mangione of the San Diego County Superior Court originally set the hearing date for March 23, after the primary election; however, after Turner advanced to a runoff with mayor Gloria, VanDiver's attorney announced they would drop the case following harassment sent her way, including an alleged attack on her son.
