2024 Austin mayoral election

The 2024 Austin mayoral election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next mayor of Austin, Texas. The election was nonpartisan; the candidates' party affiliations did not appear on the ballot. Incumbent mayor Kirk Watson was running for re-election, after returning to the position of mayor following the 2022 election. On November 15, over a week after election day, Watson was declared the apparent winner of the race after securing 50.0041% of the vote. In the final tally, Watson was a mere 13 votes over the cutoff to avoid a runoff with Carmen Llanes Pulido.

Due to the passage of Prop D in 2021, this is the first Austin mayoral election to coincide with a presidential election.
