The 2026 Boca Raton mayoral election was held on March 10, 2026, to elect the next mayor of Boca Raton, Florida. Incumbent mayor Scott Singer was term-limited and ineligible to seek re-election.
Scott Singer had served as mayor since 2018, following previous service on the Boca Raton City Council. Under the cityâÂÂs term-limit rules, he could not seek another term. His departure resulted in a competitive open-seat election.
Initially, it appeared that Thomson had won by five votes, necessitating a recount. The recount, which was completed on March 13, confirmed that Thomson had won by those five votes. This was the first time in over 30 years a Democrat was elected mayor. Given that Boca Raton was a Republican stronghold, many analyzed this result, combined with many other special election results in 2025 and earlier in 2026, could lead to a blue wave.
