2024 San Francisco mayoral election

The 2024 San Francisco mayoral election took place on November 5, 2024, to elect the mayor of San Francisco, California. It was originally scheduled for November 7, 2023, but following the passage of Proposition H in 2022, mayoral elections were rescheduled to coincide with presidential elections. The election used ranked-choice voting.

Incumbent mayor London Breed ran for re-election to a second term in office; she was considered vulnerable, as polls had consistently shown her with low approval ratings. Breed had also faced criticism for her handling of important issues in the city, including homelessness, crime, and drug addiction.

On November 7, Breed conceded the race to Daniel Lurie.

A survey was released by the San Francisco Controller in 2023 which reported the lowest safety rating since 1996, and the lowest government rating since 2002. Polling in June reported that 64% of people did not believe London Breed should be reelected and she had a 66% disapproval rating.
