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%.
