2024 Baltimore mayoral election

The 2024 Baltimore mayoral election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the mayor of Baltimore, Maryland. The Democratic and Republican primary elections will be held on May 14, 2024.

Incumbent Brandon Scott was first elected in 2020 with 70.5% of the vote and is running for re-election to a second term. Scott is considered vulnerable, as polls have found that Baltimore residents have been split on his performance as mayor. He has faced criticism for his handling of important issues in the city, including schools, constituent services, and crime. However, Scott's response to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, as well as his progress in growing the economy and reducing homicides has allowed him to make inroads with voters and boost his approval rating.
