Mayoral elections

The Mayor is the highest elected official in Atlanta, Georgia. Since its incorporation in 1847, the town has had 60 mayors. The current mayor is Keisha Lance Bottoms.

This is a list of mayors of Atlanta in the state of Georgia in the United States. The term of office was one year until Cicero C. Hammock's second term (1875–77), when a new city charter changed it to two years. The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Isaac N. Ragsdale the modern stay in office. Though a political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so candidates do not represent their party when elected. In recent history, the viable candidates in the race have primarily been Democrats.
