The 2003 Tallahassee mayoral special election was held February 4 and February 25, 2003 to elect the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida.
Since no candidate obtained a majority of the vote in the first-round, a runoff was held between the top-two finishers.
The election coincided with elections to City Commissioner Seats 1, 2, 3 and 5.[1]
Marks became the second popularly elected mayor of Tallahassee. Marks became Tallahassee's first elected African American mayor, and its fifth-overall African American mayor.[citation needed]
Background
On January 4, 2003, Tallahassee Mayor Scott Maddox was elected Chairman of the Florida Democratic Party.[2] Maddox announced that he would remain Mayor of Tallahassee until late February 2003, when a special mayor election would be held to elect a successor.[2]
