The 2024 Austin mayoral election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next mayor of Austin, Texas.[1] The election was nonpartisan; the candidates' party affiliations affiliations did not appear on the ballot. Incumbent mayor Kirk Watson was running for re-election, after returning to the position of mayor following the 2022 election.[2] On November 15, over a week after election day, Watson was declared the apparent winner of the race after securing 50.0041% of the vote. In the final tally, Watson was a mere 13 votes over the cutoff to avoid a runoff with Carmen Llanes Pulido.
Due to the passage of Prop D in 2021, this is the first Austin mayoral election to coincide with a presidential election.[3]
