Due to San Jose term limits, which sets a maximum of two total terms, incumbent mayor Sam Liccardo is not eligible to run for reelection. The 2022 mayoral election will be the last held on a Gubernatorial election cycle as a result of the passage of Measure B in 2022. Following mayoral elections will coincide with the Presidential election cycle. The election was nonpartisan, as are all local elections in California.
