Municipal elections will be held in San Diego in 2024, for mayor, city attorney, and city council. The primary election occurred Tuesday, March 5, 2024, and the general election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Five of the nine council seats are up for election, with all five incumbents standing for re-election, as well as incumbent mayor Todd Gloria.[1][2][3]
