The 2017 Los Angeles mayoral election was held on March 7, 2017, to elect the
mayor of
Los Angeles. Due to a change in the city's election calendar to align mayoral elections with statewide elections, the winner stood to serve a term of five years and six months instead of the usual four years.
Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan. Incumbent Eric Garcetti won a record 81.4% share of the vote in the primary, eliminating the need for a
run-off.
Voting turnout was relatively low at 20.1%.
