On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, an election was held in Portland, Oregon, to elect the mayor.[2] Ted Wheeler was elected after garnering 54% of the primary vote.[1] Incumbent mayor Charlie Hales did not seek a second term.[3]
Portland uses a nonpartisan system for local elections, in which all voters are eligible to participate. All candidates are listed on the ballot without any political party affiliation.
Fifteen candidates competed in a blanket primary election on May 17, 2016.[4][5] As Ted Wheeler garnered 54% of the vote, a scheduled November 8 runoff election, scheduled in case that no candidate received an absolute majority, did not take place. Jules Bailey was the first runner-up in the primary, receiving 16% of the vote.[1][6][7]
